Re: Newspaper Vendor Vs. Garbage Truck
Got the story folks..... Observer vendor Desreane Irving had planned to spend another month selling newspapers in Half-Way-Tree before going off on maternity leave. Irving and three other women were mowed down by a garbage truck yesterday morning. Forty-year-old Irving, the mother of five children, was five months pregnant. She died on the spot. Police said the tragedy occurred shortly after 7:00 am when the driver of the blue and white truck belonging to Domestic and Environmental Cleaning Solutions, lost control of the vehicle which hit a motor car before slamming into the women who were on the sidewalk near the intersection,one of the capital's most heavily traversed intersections. The driver of the truck fled the scene. According to Inspector Haughton Newel of the Police Traffic Department, the driver may have been distracted by a conversation between himself and his assistant.
