ECD man critical after being struck by pickup

Ram Singh of Courbane Park, Annandale, East Coast Demerara is in critical condition at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPHC), where he was admitted after being struck by a pickup on the Lusignan Public Road, ECD on Thursday evening.
The 55-year-old was reportedly standing in the path of the vehicle clad in dark-coloured clothing when he was struck. The driver, according to reports, attempted to avoid hitting the man, but the left front side of the vehicle nonetheless collided with Singh, resulting in him falling onto the roadway.
Singh was picked up in an unconscious state and rushed to the GPHC.
A breathalyser test was conducted on the driver, but no trace of alcohol was found in his breath. Investigations are ongoing.
