The policeman who was hospitalised in critical condition after being mowed down by a motorist in Granville, St James on Friday, October 4, has succumbed to his injuries.
Constable Linroy Codner died at the Falmouth Hospital in Trelawny on Sunday morning.
He reportedly sustained multiple injuries to his brain, and was admitted in hospital since the incident.
It is not clear if he has since been charged relative to the matter.
It was reported that on Friday, October 4, the police were conducting a roadblock exercise along the Granville main road in the vicinity of St Johns, when Codner signalled the driver of the white Toyota Probox to stop.
The driver reportedly slowed down and upon reaching close to the police officer, sped up, hitting the cop and sending him over a precipice that was said to be some 50-70 feet deep.
Codner was rescued from the precipice and taken to the Cornwall Regional Hospital in Montego Bay, St James, then was later transferred to the Falmouth Hospital in neighbouring Trelawny, where he was admitted until he died.
