A pedestrian trying to cross the highway, metres away from a walkover, met a gruesome death when his body was dismembered after being struck by multiple cars.

Around 10.30 pm on September 20, a Couva man driving a black Nissan Note was driving north on the Sir Solomon Hochoy Highway in the centre lane near the Seereeram walkover.

He saw a man crossing the highway and tried to swerve into the overtaking lane to avoid hitting him but was unable to do so.
