Forty-four-year-old Vincent Barkley of ‘D’ Norton Street, Lodge, was killed early yesterday morning in an accident on Mandela Avenue, Georgetown.
According to a press release issued by the Police Public Relations Office, investigations have revealed so far that motor car PKK 5970 was allegedly speeding along Mandela Avenue when the driver lost control of the vehicle and collided with Barkley, a pedal cyclist, who was proceeding in the opposite direction on the other side of the road.
The car was reportedly being driven by a 28-year-old Hadfield Street, Lodge resident.
Barkley, a father of four young children, was heading home after conducting his routine morning prayers at a nearby Masjid.
According to one eyewitness, Barkley’s twisted body was hurled onto a nearby parapet while the car turned turtle in a wash bay on Mandela Avenue.
Both Barkley and the driver were taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation where Barkley was pronounced dead on arrival. The driver was treated and subsequently released into police custody. He is assisting with the ongoing investigations. Barkley’s family was told that his legs and hands along with a few ribs were broken. A post mortem examination is expected to be performed soon.
“Christmas just gone and so is our brother,” Lorraine Barkley, the man’s eldest sister lamented.
She added that the man was planning to take “after-Christmas” presents for his children today.
“I already buy Christmas gifts and carry money fuh he children, but Vincent lived fuh he children and he was going back and carry more Christmas gifts for them today (yesterday).”
