An elderly man was fatally struck down on the Stanleytown Public Road in New Amsterdam on Sunday evening just after 23:30hrs.
Michael Carrington, 67, of Lot 42 Stanleytown was hit by a Rav-4 vehicle while on his way home after helping the owners of HD Fish Shop and Sports Bar close up their business.
According to Carrington’s daughter, Tessa, she heard a loud impact around that time and ventured out to discover her father lying in a pool of blood with his brains protruding from his skull, on the road. He was dead. His left foot was also broken.
Eyewitnesses say that the vehicle was speeding and hit the pensioner.
The dead man’s daughter stated that after hitting her father down, the driver of the vehicle did not stop but continued to drive until he reached Lot 41 Stanleytown. He then reversed to the scene.
She noted that her father usually helped the fish shop owners close the business at that hour.
A few men who were part of a police patrol that was in the area, arrived on the scene and arrested the driver, Victor Lewis, in his 40’s. He was taken to the Central Police Station in the town where he remains in custody.
He is expected to be charged shortly with causing death by dangerous driving. Carrington’s body is at the Arokium Funeral Home awaiting a Post Mortem on Friday.
He leaves to mourn his wife, Corules and 11 children.
