The serene landscape of Molinere in St George was shattered by a fatal incident that claimed the life of a truck driver. Richard Fisher, 54, a resident of River Road, St George, met his untimely demise in a tragic collision between two trucks at the Molinere Land Slippage Site yesterday.
Preliminary investigations conducted by the Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) revealed that the unfortunate incident occurred while two trucks, one carrying concrete and the other a pump, were engaged in operations at the site.
It was reported that the pump truck unexpectedly tilted to the side, leading to a collision with the concrete truck, ultimately trapping Fisher inside his vehicle.
Despite efforts to extricate Fisher from the wreckage, emergency responders were unable to save him. He was pronounced dead at the scene by a medical doctor. An autopsy has been scheduled to ascertain the precise cause of his demise as investigations into the matter continue.

Meanwhile, Gravel Concrete & Emulsion Production Corporation has expressed profound sadness over the sudden and tragic loss of Fisher, who was not just an employee but a cherished member of their family.
In a statement released by the company, Fisher, affectionately known as ‘Fisher’, was hailed for his dedication and jovial spirit, which endeared him to colleagues and superiors alike.
Out of respect for Fisher and to allow their team to grieve and support one another during this difficult time, the company made the decision to close its offices on April 9th.
The statement emphasized that the company’s primary focus is on providing Fisher’s family and fellow employees with grief counselling and unwavering support as they navigate through this period of mourning.
