Taxi driver cleared in killing of Coverden pedestrian

Taxi driver Rupert Douglas, who was on trial for allegedly causing the death of Coverden resident Ann Mohammed through dangerous driving, was yesterday freed of the charge.

Magistrate Leron Daly dismissed the charge of causing death by dangerous driving that was laid against Douglas due to insufficient evidence.

It was alleged that on January 30, at the Coverden public road, Douglas drove his vehicle, PTT 1892, in a dangerous manner, thereby causing the death of Mohammed.
