Shondell Sparrock

A 44-year-old resident of Peter’s Hall, East Bank Demerara, died yesterday after she was crushed by a truck as she attempted to cross the four lane East Bank Public Road in the vicinity of the Demerara Harbour Bridge.

Dead is Shondell Sparrock, an employee of National Hardware.  Her sister, Sandra, told Sunday Stabroek that Shondell was returning home from work and had stopped to buy groceries for their mother, who is a wheelchair user. “She has no children…she is the one who takes care of my mother,” a distraught Sandra explained. According to her, the truck driver, who is currently in police custody, said he did not see the woman.
