Victim still ‘suffering’ after vehicle accident
Audrey Roach, the woman who was involved in an accident with a car driven by Pedro Caddle, just before he was brutally beaten and killed, is back home but still suffering the effects of the horrific injuries she sustained.
When a NATION team visited the 67-year-old woman at her Jackson, St Michael home yesterday, she was still laid up in bed with a cast on the left foot and still suffering from cuts and bruises about the body.
Of the October 28 morning incident which occurred not too far from her home, Roach said she was still trying to come to grips with the unprovoked attack.
“I hear this commotion. So the gentleman say the man had a knife in his hand. I went and ask wuh going on. The man take the car and lick me down.
“I went up in the air. I hurt my teeth, my face was swollen, my two eyes hurting me, the top of my head hurting me. You know what save my life? I went into a ditch with dirty water. He just come here so and lick me ‘brugadong’. I had to pay a taximan to take me to the hospital.”
Roach recalled that several people were around but said she did not know what happened after she got struck and neither did she know the man who hit her with the car.
“I hear when I was in the hospital that he dead. I have never seen him before.”
She was released that same day from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital but said as a diabetic she was praying her feet would eventually heal from the injuries as she was still undergoing follow-up treatment.
