Dead is Trevor Mangal, called “Whistle”, of Crown Dam, Industry ECD.
While details are still sketchy, Guyana Times understands that at about 15:20h on Saturday, motorcar PXX 2522, which Mangal was driving, was travelling in an easterly direction at a fast rate on the northern carriageway when it slammed into parked vehicles PWW 6978 and GWW 6244.
It spun multiple times before hitting the median and coming to a halt. Mangal was flung out of the car, and fell onto the roadway. He died on the spot.
The ambulance was summoned, but after paramedics had examined Mangal’s motionless body on the ground, the Lyken Funeral Home was contacted.
Others who were injured in this accident were taken to the hospital for medical attention.
Meanwhile, two young men were hospitalised following an accident at Hadfield and Lime Streets in Georgetown on Saturday.
Injured are Akeem Sandy and Sheldon (only name given), who are nursing broken arms and other injuries. They are both patients at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Reports are that the men were driving a motorcycle when they observed a Police vehicle behind them and they increased their speed. In a CCTV footage seen by this publication, the duo failed to stop at the intersection, and consequently crashed into a vehicle. As a result of the impact, they were both flung from the motorcycle.
