One man was in an unconscious state up to press time following an accident on Mandela Avenue yesterday afternoon. Sign artist Derwin Aldrich who is employed with the National Cultural Centre (NCC) was struck down after a timber truck veered off Mandela Avenue in front of the renowned edifice.
One eyewitness to the accident told Kaieteur News that Aldrich was painting a sign outside of the NCC when the accident happened. The eyewitness said that driver of the truck lost control of the vehicle and drove into the path of Aldrich. “We saw the truck heading towards Aldrich and we started to shout…but by the time we did that it was too late” the eyewitness said.
The truck collided with a huge concrete structure outside of the NCC, where Aldrich was working. Kaieteur News was told that the man was momentarily pinned underneath the concrete after it collapsed. He was rushed to the Georgetown Hospital.
This newspaper was told that Aldrich recently lost his wife two months ago. The driver of the truck fled the scene leaving a porter behind. Investigations into the incident are continuing.
