A 73-year-old woman was crushed to death by a truck around 14:30 hrs on Monday at the junction of Robb Street and Avenue of the Republic in Georgetown.
Dead is Rajamatti Ram of 177 Dr. Miller Street, Triumph, East Coast Demerara.
Ram was pronounced dead on arrival at the Georgetown Public Hospital, minutes after she was pulled from under the vehicle.
According to information received, the elderly woman had just collected her seven-year-old grandson from a private school and was heading to the minibus park when she met her demise.
At her home yesterday, her daughter, Bonita Ram, said that she was at home when she received a telephone call that her mother had met with an accident. The woman said that she immediately travelled to the hospital where she was informed that her mother had already passed away.
“She was dead already, so I stayed until they carried her to the mortuary. When they lifted her, her whole body twist up and look like when you chop up chicken, and blood was all over her face and head,” the younger Ram recounted.
She said that since her son was three years old her mother would usually pick him up from school and take him home.
The devastated woman added that when she questioned her son, she was informed that the two of them were on the pedestrian crossing when a truck appeared from “nowhere.”
“He (seven-year-old) said that they were already halfway over the road when this truck approached them. He said that his grandmother pushed him over the road and when he looked back, he saw her under the vehicle,” Ram noted.
The driver of the truck is in police custody.
