A woman was struck down and killed on Thursday afternoon whilst crossing the Aubrey Barker Road in Georgetown.
The victim has been identified as Shondell Dundas.
This publication was informed that at around 12:50h today, the woman was crossing the road – just a few metres away from a pedestrian crossing – when she was struck down by a speeding motor car.
An eyewitness informed us that while crossing the road, Dundas noticed the car speeding towards her, and in a state of panic, the woman stepped back in an attempt to avoid a collision.
However, at the same time, the vehicle swerved, colliding with the woman, throwing her in the air before she landed back onto the roadway.
Residents in the area say Dundas, who resided in South Ruimveldt, is the mother of a girl who attends the David Rose Primary School.
A vendor in the area told this publication that just before the woman met her demise, she was chatting about her preparations for the holidays.
