– speeding car flees scene

A father of one was in the wee hours of Friday killed in a hit-and-run accident along the Coldigen Public Road, East Coast Demerara (ECD). Dead is 25-year-old Adzel Inniss, a truck driver of Burma Housing Scheme in Mahaicony, ECD.
According to information received on the day in question at about 4:30h, Inniss had stopped his motor lorry, GAC 1443, in the vicinity of Chico Ramas Gas Station in Coldingen, ECD, and was in the process of disembarking the vehicle when he stepped into the path of a black Toyota Fielder Wagon.

Due to the impact, Inniss fell onto the road’s surface and sustained injuries to his body while the driver of the Fielder Wagon fled the scene. Police stated that both the car’s registration and the driver’s identity remain unknown.
However, Inniss was transported to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
When contacted, the dead man’s sister, Tonica Iniss, related that she last saw her brother alive on Wednesday evening at about 18:00h. She noted that due to his work, he would stay away from home for extended periods.
On Friday morning, she noted that her brother was on his way home when the accident occurred. The family was unaware of the accident until they called his phone to inquire about his whereabouts.
She explained that someone who claimed to be the eyewitness to the accident answered her brother’s phone and related what transpired. She added both her mother and the now dead man’s child’s mother spoke with the eyewitness.
The aggrieved sister further stated that the family is in a state of shock. She related that what is even more heart-wrenching is that they do not know who killed her brother.
“We don’t know…The gas station has 11 cameras and they’re saying they’re not working and then they’re saying it’s working but it doesn’t keep footage… We’re not taking it easy! It’s very stressful. We need justice! We must get justice!”, the sister stated.
She added that it will be even more heartbreaking to see her nephew growing up without his father. “He adored that child,” she posited.
Inniss would have celebrated his 26th birthday on September 10. The Police are continuing their investigations.
