An out-of-control car yesterday slammed into a group of children along the Ruimzigt Public Road, at West Coast Demerara, killing an eight-year-old boy on the spot while leaving his companions traumatised.
The driver, who fled the scene after the accident, later returned and is now in police custody.
The dead boy, Joshua Daniels, and his family came from Mabura to attend a church convention.
They were spending time with relatives who live at Lot 29 Ruimzigt Gardens, where the accident occurred.
The accident occurred at around 4pm,
