Tracy Fordyce, the woman whose vehicle struck down two Saint Lucian cub scouts currently visiting
Guyana for the Caribbean Cuboree, was yesterday jailed for 10 months after pleading guilty to a charge of Dangerous Driving. She was also fined $15,000 for Breach of a One-Way.
Fordyce appeared before Magistrate Renita Singh in Court Seven of the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
According to reports, Fordyce was speeding up the one way when she smashed into the young children just in front of the Scout Association building on Woolford Avenue.
Nine-year-old Darnell Matthew escaped serious injuries, but his eight-year-old compatriot Nick Josh Omarie Joseph was not so fortunate. He was pinned under the vehicle in a roadside drain.
Reports are that Fordyce allegedly had an altercation with another individual at the North Georgetown Secondary School. She was refused entry to the school because of the way she was dressed. After the confrontation she reportedly got into her vehicle, motor car PSS 1236 and accelerated east along Woolford Avenue when the accident occurred.
According to an eyewitness, the woman lost control of the vehicle and ended up in the drain, in the process pinning Nick Joseph.
