A city magistrate is set to rule next week on the causing death by dangerous driving charge against Keon Haynes, the Linden taxi driver accused of killing a 64-year-old pedal cyclist during an accident along the Grove Public Road, East Bank Demerara last year.
Haynes is currently on trial before Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore in Georgetown.
The charge against the accused states that on August 23rd, 2017, at Grove Public Road, he drove HC 3809 in a dangerous manner, thereby causing the death of George Klass.
During yesterday’s hearing, a ruling in the matter was expected to be made, however, the defendant’s attorney was absent and a new date was subsequently set.
The matter is expected to be called again on September 28th.
It was previously reported that a car reportedly slammed Klass as he was waiting to cross the road. As a result of the impact, he was pitched off his bicycle and was flung some distance away. He sustained mainly head injuries and died while being transported to a hospital.
