18-year-old dies, husband critical after car slams into crane along Corentyne roadway

An 18-year-old girl is now dead while her common-law husband is critical after the vehicle in which they were travelling slammed into a crane that was left parked along the Kiltearn Public Road, Corentyne Berbice.
The dead woman has been identified as Bibi Aleah Ali, a medical technologist of Lancaster Village, Berbice. Her husband, Niraz Sukdeo,24, also a medical technologist is battling for his life.

Based on reports received, Sukhdeo was driving a motorcar, PAF 6330 along the Kiltearn Public Road, allegedly at a fast rate, when he lost control of the vehicle and collided with a Crane. Following the collision, the car ended up in a canal on the eastern side of the road.
As a result of the impact, Ali was reportedly flung out of the vehicle and landed in the canal. Sukhdeo was picked up and taken to the Anamayah Memorial Hospital where he is suffering from multiple injuries. Ali on the other hand, was rushed to the Skeldon Public Hospital where she was pronounced dead.

The area where the accident occurred was reportedly dark thus limiting visibility. The crane, based on video was not on the parapet as the Police stated but took over one lane of the roadway with just a few reflective cones a few feet away.
Mohamed Ali, the father of the dead woman told the media that he received a telephone call at about 2:56h on Monday morning from an unknown caller informing him that his daughter was involved in an accident and succumbed to her injuries. He noted that his daughter’s body was severely damaged.
While he couldn’t say where they couple was going, he confirmed that they were living together for the past eight months. Her death, he added “I hurt, it hurt me real bad because is my firstborn that, and as a father you must have to feel hurt.”

However, an eyewitness, Anand Seeraj related that he was awakened by the crashing sound.

“I don’t live too far from where the accident happened. All I heard was a loud bang, and when I got up and went to the front verandah, I saw the car on the other side of the road, like it had hit the crane and ended up there.”

He further added that Ali was already dead while her common-law husband’s feet were broken. Another eyewitness stated that he was guarding the crane but at the time of the accident, he went to fill up gas from a nearby pump.
