A man was pronounced dead on arrival at the New Amsterdam Hospital after he was struck and killed by an ambulance which was heading to the very institution with a patient in a critical condition.
The dead man has only been identified as ‘Milo’ and was stuck down on the Rose Hall, Corentyne Public Road at around 19:30 hours last evening.
Reports are that the ambulance was being driven by Narinedatt Budial, 29, and had just left Skeldon Hospital with a patient. Eyewitnesses told this publication the siren was heard and then an impact which suggested that the ambulance had stuck something. When persons ran out to the road they noticed ‘Milo’ lying motionless. The driver of the ambulance stopped briefly but then continued on his journey to the New Amsterdam Hospital where he put off the patient he was carrying and then turned himself over to police at the Central Police Station New Amsterdam.
The driver reportedly told investigators there that he noticed the man attempting to cross the road despite the warning from the siren.
Only yesterday the Ministry of Home Affairs published an advisory in sections of the media, pleading with pedestrians and drivers to adhere to sirens when using the roadways.
