Linden teacher Leslyn Major died on Friday after a car reportedly struck her following a collision with a motor lorry at Empire Drive, Amelia’s Ward.
Major, an Amelia’s Ward resident who previously taught at Christianburg Primary School, was reportedly standing beside the roadway when the crash occurred.
According to preliminary reports, a lorry allegedly travelling at high speed struck the rear of a car driven by a woman. The impact reportedly caused the car to go out of control and collide with Major.
Major sustained injuries to her head and other parts of her body. She and the injured car driver were taken to the Linden Hospital Complex, where Major later died.
The car driver received treatment and was admitted for observation. The lorry driver reportedly abandoned his vehicle and fled after the collision. Police are reportedly seeking him.
