Taxi driver cleared in pedestrian’s death on Mandela Ave

Noel De Freitas

Taxi driver Noel De Freitas, who was charged earlier this year with causing the death of a pedestrian along Mandela Avenue, had the charge against him dismissed yesterday after a city magistrate upheld a no-case submission in his favour.

The charge against De Freitas had stated that he drove HC 4295 on January 24, at Mandela Avenue, in a manner dangerous to the public, thereby causing the death of Maurice Nurse.
