“Kadie Rhaburn reported to police that he was driving his Ford Ranger pick-up on the Philip Goldson Highway. He’s saying that when he reached in front of a Chinese store, one Feliciano Mendoza, sixty-nine years (old), was crossing the road and he tried to avoid hitting that person. He’s saying that he hit that person, that person was transported to the Northern Regional Hospital where that person succumbed to his injuries. I know that police have since detained Rhaburn pending charges of that fatal accident.”
