The body is currently at the Suddie hospital mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination. Investigations are ongoing.
Not only the GPL poles are being assaulted for no reason by speeding drivers, now they start their assault on TREES. What did this particular tree do to deserve this treatment ? It is just standing in the corner away from the road, providing much needed shade from the hot sun to everyone who need it.
