The police are planning to charge the driver of a truck that was involved in an accident in which a man died at the intersection of East and North Streets.

Police sources from the Kingston Central Division said investigations into the matter are still ongoing, but said the driver of the truck will soon be charged with either causing death by dangerous driving or manslaughter.

On April 19, Iroy Johnson was seriously injured when a truck driver, in her attempt to avoid plowing into a Nissan Tiida motor car, swerved just after going through the lights at the intersection. There was still contact between the two vehicles and the truck veered towards the sidewalk on the south-east corner of the intersection where Johnson was standing, waiting to cross. The truck is alleged to have hit Johnson before turning on to its side.

Johnson, who suffered serious injuries, was hospitalised for about a week before succumbing to his injuries.

The 29-year-old , who was visually impaired and fell in the B-3 level of blindness, with B1 being complete blindness, was a second-year student at the Vocational Training and Development Institute. He was studying information and communication technology.

Johnson was also a member of both the West Indies and Jamaica blind cricket teams.

In the meantime, Johnson's aunt told THE STAR that the family was "hanging in there". With respect to whether they would be pursuing legal action in the matter, she said, " Right now it is in the police hands, but we will take it from there."
