A 41-year-old woman who was struck down by an army vehicle on the McDoom Public Road three weeks ago, died yesterday morning at the Georgetown Public Hospital.

According to hospital sources, Mahaiswerie Seecharran,  of 14 Grove Public Road, East Bank Demerara, died around 3 am yesterday. Stabroek News understands that the woman was on life support since being hospitalized.

According to reports, Seecharran was on her way home from work at Pritipaul Singh Investments when she was struck down by the car, DFB 1482, while crossing the road close to the SOL Service Station at McDoom, on the eastern side of the highway.
