Jarren Huntley, the police constable who fatally struck a pedestrian along the Catherine Public Road, Mahaicony East Coast Demerara on Sunday afternoon, was reported to have been speeding before he lost control of the vehicle after swerving to avoid a bad patch of road, the Guyana Police Force said yesterday.
Carpenter Winston Small, 52, of Lot 2 Catherine Village, Mahaicony, was killed in the accident, while several others, including passengers who were in the vehicle with Huntley, were injured.
Stabroek News had reported that the accident involved four vehicles. However, based on a clarification provided by the police, that was a different accident in which no one was seriously injured.
