A female pedal cyclist was on Thursday afternoon crushed to death by a motor lorry transporting a combine along the Albion Public Road, Corentyne, Berbice. The dead woman has been identified as Christina Raghu, 41, of Chesney Squatting Area, Corentyne, Berbice.
The mother of four had just dropped her grandson off at school and was heading home when she reportedly rode into the path of the lorry. Raghu sustained injuries and was picked up in an unconscious state and taken to the Port Mourant Hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
According to one eyewitness, Raghu did not stop after riding out of the school’s street but instead rode onto the main highway. “She just ride out and did not look,” the eyewitness said.
The now dead housewife usually takes her grandson to school on bicycle on a daily basis.
