Members of a Bee Hive,Donnie Shell Steelers Jersey, East Coast Demerara household, are mourning the loss of the family patriarch,Earnest Byner Redskins Jersey, Doodnauth Harripersaud, who was killed on the spot in a smash-up between two trucks yesterday morning.Harrripersaud, 56, a greens farmer was driving his truck when it collided head on with another truck on the Greenfeild Public Road around 08:15 hours.Passing motorists could only stare in horror at his body lying on the roadway in a pool of blood next to his mangled vehicle.The tragic incident played out in front of Harripersaud’s son, Rohan.He related that his father was returning from a Unity, Mahaica gas station where he had gone to purchase gasoline for his truck GGG 4608. He was about to turn into a yard when the collision occurred.Rohan said that he was in the said yard that his father was about to turn into when he saw another truck, GNN 9358,Tony Dorsett Cowboys Jersey, coming at a fast rate of speed from the opposite direction.“De truck ah overtake a minibus. He hear de truck a blow and from de time me turn me hear bladam! Me know he knock something. By de time me watch out, me see de Canter ah spin,” Rohan Harripersaud told this newspaper.He hurried out of the yard, only to see that his father had been hurled from the truck on to the roadway.To Rohan,Dan Marino Dolphins Jersey, the man appeared dead already.As a result of the collision,Dexter Manley Redskins Jersey, the driver of the other truck lost control and the vehicle ended up in a trench which runs alongside the road.The police offered a different version of how the accident occurred.They claimed in a press release that their investigations revealed that the driver of motor lorry GNN 9358 was proceeding along the roadway when Doodnauth Harripersaud,Deion Sanders 49ers Jersey, who was driving motor Canter GGG 4608 and which had stopped ahead, suddenly drove across the road and into the path of the motor lorry,Terrell Owens 49ers Jersey, resulting in a collision.The driver of the motor lorry is in police custody assisting with the investigations.Rajkumarie Harripersaud, the dead man’s wife was inconsolable when news of her husband’s death was relayed to her.It was a double blow for her since she had only recently finished a court matter of similar nature.According to Rajkumarie, only two weeks ago the court case involving her father’s death in another road accident was completed.“I say me done with dat and now look wha happen,Jerry Rice Raiders Jersey, is another one me gat fuh go through,Jay Novacek Cowboys Jersey,” she cried.Harripersaud’s death pushes the country’s road fatality figure to 20 so far for the year. |
