Those who travel or exercise along the Northern Highway early at morning will be familiar with the Liang Sheng Heng, a spritely 69 year old who is always seen fast walking for exercise.
But on Saturday morning around 6:30, he was knocked down and killed on the road. He was walking on the shoulder of the highway when Marie Moody knocked him down with a Kia Sorrento. Sheng Heng suffered serious head and body injuries and died on the spot. The Sorrento continued to careen out of control and hit another oncoming vehicle. Police have served the driver with a notice of intended prosecution.
The press officer told us more today:..
Inspector Fitzroy Yearwood - Police Press Officer
"Yes she has been served with a notice of intended persecution and have receive urine and blood samples from her which will determine whether she was driving under the influence over the prescribed limit. I can tell you that today we might have charges filed against her."
This afternoon, 25 year-old Marie Moody, a resident of Cleghorn Street, was taken to the Magistrate's Court where she was arraigned for a slew of charges including manslaughter by negligence, causing death by careless conduct, driving without due care and attention, failure to stay in the proper lane, and driving a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol.
She was granted bail, which she was able to meet this evening, and she was able to leave the court free. She is being represented by attorney Arthur Saldivar, who told us this evening that he is challenging several of the charges.
