The CEO in the Ministry of Natural Resources accidentally knocked down and killed a man. It happened on Friday evening around 6:00 in Cotton Tree Village while the victim was reportedly walking in the middle of the highway.
ACP Romero told us more details, but refused to name Thompson as the driver, despite the fact that those involved in road traffic accidents are routinely named:
ACP Hilberto Romero, OCED
"Police visited the area where they saw a GMC vehicle with damages. The driver of that vehicle reported that he was driving when suddenly a male person crossed his path and he knocked down the male person. The male person was taken for treatment where he succumbed to his injuries. He was identified as Zacharias Tesucum and an investigation is ongoing at this time. The driver has been served with an NIP and samples were taken from him."
Reporter:
"The name of the driver?"
ACP Hilberto Romero, OCED
"The driver has not been charged so I won't say the name."
Courtney Menzies:
"But we usually report the name of drivers who are in accidents even before they're charged."
Reporter:
"And especially if they're served with an NIP."
ACP Hilberto Romero, OCED
"I'll get back to you on that."
