Police are investigating a fatal accident which occurred at about 23:00 hrs last night in the vicinity of Church of God Road, Buxton, East Coast Demerara (ECD).
The accident involved minibus BAC 4129 (driver and owner unknown) and pedestrian Adree Slowe (now-deceased), a 62-year-old resident of Lot 8 Vigilance South, East Coast Demerara.
Investigations so far indicate that Slowe was crossing the road from the southern side to the northern side while the minibus BAC 4129 was proceeding east on the said road at a fast rate. The vehicle collided with the pedestrian, ‘dragging’ him about 100 feet away from the point of impact. The minibus subsequently drove away from the scene.
As a result of the collision, the pedestrian received injuries on his body. The EMT was summoned, and after they arrived at the scene and pronounced Slowe dead, the body was handed over to Memorial Funeral Home and taken to Memorial Gardens Mortuary, awaiting a Post-Mortem Examination.
