Mandela Avenue food vendor critical after hit-and-run
Claude ‘Chippy’ McPherson
A popular Mandela Avenue food vendor was battling for his life at the Georgetown Public Hospital last night after a hit-and-run accident.
Relatives of Claude “Chippy” McPherson said that after he was hit by a pickup, in all likelihood a Toyota Tundra, the East Ruimveldt man was hurled at least 100 yards on Mandela Avenue.
According to his niece, Sue, McPherson runs a small snackette just off Mandela Avenue, not far from John Fernandes Limited. The accident occurred around 21:00hrs.
He had left home riding his bike. Residents said they heard a loud noise and saw a dark-colored pickup driving away from the scene.
McPherson was found in front of a shop with his bike badly mangled. His leg was severely crushed.
He was reportedly rushed to the hospital by a relative.
At press time, McPherson also known as ‘Rastaman’ was being prepared for a scan of the head.
