The first task of investigators in this matter will, of course, be to understand what happened and establish all responsibilities in the matter.
The known facts are as follows:
Just before midnight, around 11.30pm this Wednesday, the emergency services intervened outside the Gaddarkhan Company, Chemin de Kerdoret in Saint François to tend to a man who had just been hit by a heavy weight. The truck would be owned by a subcontractor from the West Indies Environnement company. His driver would not have tolerated strikers getting in his way to prevent him from leaving the company. He then allegedly hit one of them as he tried to force his way through the middle of their picket line.
