Iroy Johnson, the pedestrian who was injured in an accident involving a truck and a car at the intersection of North and East Streets last week Monday, has died.

The Kingston Central police confirmed that Johnson died earlier this week.

Based on a camera which caught the incident, the accident occurred when the 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. The truck hit Johnson, who was waiting to cross, and a light pole before turning on to its side.

Johnson was in his second year at the HEART Vocational Training Development Institute, working towards his Bachelor of Science degree in information and communication technology. A student from the institution told THE WEEKEND STAR that the school body had just last week been asked to donate *lo** for Johnson and said they were informed of his death a few days ago.

Johnson represented Jamaica's visually impaired cricket team and also played for the West Indies as a batsman
