Seven months after allegedly fleeing the scene of the fatal Nismes accident which claimed the life of a senior citizen, the man accused of being responsible was yesterday charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
Gregory Bess was brought before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan, who read him a charge which states that on January 28th, at Nismes Public Road, West Bank Demerara, he drove motor cycle CJ 5283 and caused the death of 70-year-old Herbert Caesar, a pedal cyclist, by driving in a manner dangerous to the public.
A second charge read to the accused stated that on the very date and at the very location, being the driver of motorcycle CJ5283, he failed to stop after an accident occurred.
