A 66-year-old man was killed today after he allegedly walked into the path of a motorcar on the Agricola Public Road, East Bank Demerara (EBD).


Dead is Imtiaz Isahack of Eccles, EBD. The accident occurred at about 08:10h and involved motorcar PYY 1162 driven by a 50-year-old man from Yarrowkabra, Soesdyke-Linden Highway.


The motorcar driver told investigators he was proceeding along the Agricola Public Road when the 66-year-old pedestrian “walked into his path” without looking. As a result, he collided with the man, who was flung into the air before landing on the road’s surface.


The 66-year-old man who received several injuries to his head and body was pronounced dead at the scene. His body was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital's Mortuary, awaiting a Post Mortem Examination (PME).


A breathalyser test was conducted on the driver but showed no trace of alcohol. He is presently in custody, assisting with the investigation.
