An employee of the Professional Guard Service (PGS) was killed yesterday following an accident at the junction of Sheriff and Craig Streets, Campbellville, involving a truck and a motorcycle. The deceased, Pearson Adams, was the pillion rider on the motorcycle.
Adams, 36, a driver of a cash transit vehicle, had ironically just come from a seminar on road safety, which all PGS drivers were attending.
At approximately 11:30 hours, Adams and a colleague, Duane Fraser, were required to leave the seminar and go pick up their cash transit vehicles and begin daily rounds.
Adams was being given a lift from the seminar to the PGS headquarters by Fraser.
Eyewitnesses opined that the truck was at fault, but other accounts pointed to the motorcyclist. While uncertainty surrounds the circumstances, sources say that the drivers of both vehicles will be charged.
Fraser, who was riding the motorcycle, suffered cuts and bruises, but is said to be in stable condition.
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of PGS, Dougal Kirkpatrick, expressed sorrow over the incident and noted that the loss of Adams was a blow to the company.
He went on to say that PGS will take care of Adams’ funeral and that he (Kirkpatrick) will give Adams’ family monetary benefits of an insurance policy which was taken out on Adams as an employee of PGS. Kirkpatrick stressed that they were “horribly upset,” over Adams’ death.
The dead man’s relatives noted that it was an extremely difficult time for them, since two years ago, this month, Adams’s mother passed away.
