“Carpenter”, his only name given, has died at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation. “Carpenter” was one of the vagrants who was run over by a Toyota motor car PKK 7006 on June 19, last, after the car ran off of Regent Street and mowed down four vagrants who were sleeping in the vicinity of Household Plus.
The store is located between Cummings Street and Orange Walk.
Witnesses who were in close proximity to where the accident occurred, claimed that there was a loud crash around 03:00 hrs; then screams could be heard. When persons ran to the scene to ascertain what happened, four vagrants were pinned under a shed that had been uprooted by the car that came to rest some 150ft away.
One of the individuals pinned and was identified only as “Carpenter”, had both of his legs crushed. The scene was a bloody one; the emergency services were called and they then used power tools to free the four individuals who were pinned.
“Carpenter” and another of the four vagrants who received serious injuries were taken to the hospital. Witnesses claimed when the driver emerged from the car, witnesses claimed that he said he saw someone in the middle of the road and swerved to avoid hitting the person.
He also said he was going at 60kph, which witnesses claim could not be true, since the car came to rest a long way from the first point of impact.
In a statement yesterday, the Guyana Police Force appealed for help in “identifying a male whose name was given as “Carpenter” and who was involved in an accident in the vicinity of Household Plus on Regent Street between Cummings Street and Orange Walk, Bourda, Georgetown.”
He subsequently succumbed to his injuries on July 02, 2018 at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.
The body is presently at the Georgetown Public Hospital’s Mortuary awaiting identification and a post-mortem examination.
Anyone with information that may lead to his identification is asked to contact the police on telephone numbers 225-2672, 226-2411, 227-1152, 226-7065, 227-1611, 227-1149, 227-1270, 225-6940-9, 226-2917, 225-2700, 225-6411, 226-4585, 226-2917, 225-0593 911 or the nearest Police Station.
