An Upper Corentyne driver whose hire car allegedly fatally struck a pedal cyclist along the Princetown Public Road last week was on Monday placed on $150,000 bail after he appeared in court.
Nigel Kaidnath, 25, of Grant 1805 Crabwood Creek appeared before Magistrate Alex Moore at the Springlands Magis-trate’s Court, where he was charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
Kaidnath was not required to enter a plea and was placed on $150,000 bail. He will return to court on July, 16.
On Wednesday last, Kaidnath allegedly fatally struck Marsha Adiana, 57, of Skeldon Riverside, Upper Corentyne.
Stabroek News was told that Kaidnath was proceeding south in HC 85 11 reportedly at a fast rate of speed when he made a sudden swerve and struck Adiana. As a result of the impact, the cyclist fell onto the road surface and suffered mortal injuries.
The car after hitting the pedal cyclist came to a halt in a nearby drain while the bicycle landed on the edge of another drain.
Adiana was rushed in an unconscious state to the Skeldon Public Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Police in a statement had said that a breathalyzer test was administered to the driver which revealed that he was below the prescribed alcohol limit.
