Police are to charge the driver implicated in Wednesday’s fatal accident at Providence, East Bank Demerara, in which 25-year-old Mary Sandy was killed.
A police source said that the driver, 57-year-old Doodnauth Misir, of Herstelling, is likely to be charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
However, Misir, who is still in custody, is not being charged under the new drunk driving laws. Misir had told Kaieteur News that he consumed “two shots” of vodka shortly before the accident.
Police retrieved a small bottle of alcohol from Misir’s car after impounding the vehicle but did not subject him to a Breathalyzer test.
Sandy, the mother of four young children, was about to cross the East Bank Demerara Public Road near the Texaco Gas Station near Providence when the car, PDD 9467, struck her.
She had just dropped off one of her children to school.
A female eyewitness told police that the driver was heading south along the public road at the same time that a cow was crossing. According to the woman, Misir attempted to drive around the roving animal and struck Sandy.
Misir had told Kaieteur News that he was heading south in his car at approximately 30 kilometers per hour, when a cow ran across the road.
The driver said he ‘mashed brakes’, but hit the woman, who was crossing the road at the same time.
The man alleged that he exited his car to render assistance to the injured woman, but she passed away shortly after.
