Abeka Trotman was travelling with her mother, Abiola Trotman, and her grandmother, Cheryl Williams, in a car, PMM 1426, on September 10, on Sheriff Street, which was hit by a pick-up truck.

The DPP’s Chambers related to Stabroek News yesterday that they have advised the police to charge the driver of the pick-up truck over the death of the girl.

Williams had pointed out that all she could recall from the accident was seeing the pick-up racing towards them at a high speed before passing out.

“We were in the back turning the street to go home and all I remember was seeing the car speeding towards we and before I could say, ‘Oh God,’ it just went dark,” the woman explained, while adding that she regained consciousness in the hospital.
