A Venezuelan national died after being struck by a vehicle while walking on the shoulder of the Churchill Roosevelt Highway on Friday morning.
The deceased has been identified as Jose Rafael Quintana, 51.
At about 6.30a.m., Quintana was walking with a group of people along the shoulder on the west bound lane of the highway near the Courts Megastore – when he was struck by a truck.
Quintana was thrown into water-filled drain.
He was taken out by friends but died at the scene.
An autopsy has been ordered to confirm whether he died from the crash injuries or if he drowned.
