Unidentified man killed in hit and run at Tuschen

A hit-and-run accident early Sunday morning claimed the life of an unidentified man on the Tuschen public road, East Bank Essequibo (EBE).
Police reported that the accident occurred around 02:45h and involved two vehicles—motorcar PSS 8190, whose owner and driver remain unknown, and motorcar PRR 7218, which belongs to a 33-year-old self-employed resident of Meten-Meer-Zorg.
Initial investigations revealed that the pedestrian, described as a male of Amerindian descent, was standing on the southern side of the road with a group of people. He attempted to cross the road from south to north when he stepped into the path of motorcar PSS 8190, which was traveling west at a high speed along the centre of the road.
The force of the collision flung the pedestrian into the air, and he landed on the back of motorcar PRR 7218, which was parked on the southern parapet, facing east.
After the impact, the driver of PSS 8190 briefly stopped, turned around, and returned to the scene. However, when bystanders rushed towards the vehicle, the driver sped away, fleeing eastward.
The injured pedestrian was rushed to the Leonora Cottage Hospital by police, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Police have yet to locate motorcar, PSS 8190. Investigations are continuing.
