Headteacher killed in Rose Hall hit-and-run

(Kaieteur News) – The headteacher of Kildonan Primary School, Sonia Natasha Williams, was struck and killed in an alleged hit-and-run accident on Monday afternoon at Rose Hall, Corentyne.

Williams, 51, a graduate headteacher of Kilcoy/Chesney Housing Scheme, Corentyne, was reportedly struck shortly after 3:21 p.m. on the Rose Hall Town Public Road while attempting to open the front passenger-side door of a car in which she was travelling.

Police stated that the incident occurred about 3:21pm on Rose Hall Town Public Road, just after Williams had concluded a business transaction at an insurance company. Preliminary investigations disclosed that motorcar #PAK 5566, in which Williams was at the time of the incident, was parked on the southern side of the road. As she reportedly attempted to open the right-side front door, a white motorcar, which was proceeding west along the road, reportedly collided with Williams and the opened door. After slamming into the woman, the driver fled from the scene.
