The vehicle was subsequently transported to the Cove and John Police Station, ECD, for further investigation. However, Police did not disclose whether they had located the driver of the car or made any arrests in connection with the accident.
On the day of the accident, about 04:30h, Inniss had stopped his motor lorry, bearing registration GAC 1443, in the vicinity of Chico Ramas Gas Station. He was in the process of disembarking the vehicle when he allegedly stepped into the path of a black Toyota Fielder Wagon.
Inniss then collapsed onto the road. The driver of the Fielder Wagon fled the scene, and both the car’s registration and the driver’s identity remained unknown.
Inniss was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital but was pronounced dead upon arrival. His sister, Tonica Inniss, told Guyana Times that she had last seen her brother alive on Wednesday evening at approximately 18:00h.
Due to his work, he often spent extended periods away from home. The family learnt about the accident on Friday when they called his phone to check on his whereabouts. An eyewitness to the accident answered the phone and shared details of what had transpired. Both Inniss’s mother and the mother of his child spoke with this eyewitness. (G9)
