A 47-year-old employee of the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) today walked free on a causing death by dangerous driving charge. The man was charged for the November 2017 Barr and James Street, Albouyston accident which left 19-year-old motorcyclist Ronaldo Jaundoo dead.
In the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore freed Dwayne Gonsalves due to insufficient evidence.
Gonsalves was out on $600,000 pre-trial liberty. The charge read that he drove motor pickup GVV 8249 in a manner dangerous to the public, thereby causing the death of Jaundoo, called “Beetle.”
According to reports, on the day in question, the motor pickup driven by Gonsalves was proceeding north on Barr Street, while motorcycle CH 9086, ridden by Jaundoo, was proceeding east on the northern side of James Street when they collided.
Jaundoo was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. A breathalyzer test was administered on Gonsalves but the results negative for alcohol.
