The driver who allegedly struck and killed 66-year-old Imtiaz Isahack on the Agricola Public Road has been released on $300,000 bail after being charged.
The defendant, 50-year-old Trevor Davis, of Yarrowkabra, Soesdyke-Linden Highway, appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in Georgetown Magistrate’s Court 1 on November 10, when the charge was read to him.
The particulars of the charge state that on November 7, at the Agricola Public Road, Davis drove motorcar PYY 1162 in a manner dangerous to the public, thereby causing the death of Isahack of Eccles, East Bank Demerara (EBD).
Davis was not required to plead to the charge and was granted bail in the sum of $300,000. The matter was then adjourned until December 9.
According to the police, the car was proceeding north along the Agricola Public Road’s western carriageway at about 08:10hrs as Isahack was on the pedestrian crossing, walking in an easterly direction.
The police had said that the driver of the car had claimed that Isahack walked into his path without looking and as a result the front left side of the vehicle hit the man, pitching him into the air.
It was stated that the now deceased man had suffered injuries to his head and about his body, and at about 08:41 hrs on he was pronounced dead on the scene by an Emergency Medical Technician.
