De Willem youth dies after being run over by security vehicle

Twenty-year-old Warren Junior Thomas of Area ‘G’ De Willem Public Road, West Coast Demerara met his demise on Friday evening after he was run over by a motorcar along the Zeeburg Public Road, West Coast Demerara.
Police have said that Thomas was lying on the southern parapet of the Zeeburg Public Road when motorcar PZZ 4005, owned by Sheriff Security Services and at the time being driven by a 29-year-old man, drove onto the southern drive lane and stopped in front of a Chinese supermarket, where the driver collected an item from a Sheriff Security officer.
The driver then allegedly drove over the body of Thomas, who was still on the parapet; but he stopped, exited the vehicle, and spoke to another driver whose vehicle was stationary in front of the supermarket, before re-entering the motorcar and driving off in an easterly direction.
Thomas was picked up in an unconscious state and taken to the Leonora Cottage Hospital, where he was attended to by a doctor, but died while receiving medical attention.
CCTV footage was viewed, and checks were made for the driver and vehicle involved in the incident. Police subsequently arrested the driver after he returned to the accident scene on Saturday morning. He remains in custody, assisting with the investigations.
