3rd victim in Williamsburg 2-motorcycle smash-up succumbs
The third person who was involved in the two-motorcycle smash-up at Williamsburg, Corentyne last month has died. Dead is 17-year-old Veeram Seecharran, also of Williamsburg Village, Corentyne, Berbice.
The teenager died nine days after the accident which already claimed the lives of Deolall Tulsi, a 21-year-old ranger attached to the Albion Sugar Estate, and 22-year-old Rondy Emmanuel, a labourer.
Seecharran, at the time of the accident, was the pillion rider on one of the bikes involved in the crash. He suffered a fractured skull and was a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital up to the time of his demise.
His sister-in-law, Roshine Mootoosammy told Guyana Times that since the fatal crash, the teen’s condition had been worsening.
“The doctor said his system and his heart started to close and he is not responding. His organs are starting to fail – his lungs, heart and everything failing. The doctor said the brain also started to fail. He said we have to prepare for anything, because it was already nine days in the hospital…”
Meanwhile, after a head scan, it was found that there was swelling in a section of the brain.
“Dem ah treat him for the swelling and when we ask how is he, they say that they waiting to see if he would catch himself. The Wednesday before the Sunday that he passed away, his brother went and talk to him and he raise a bit and moved his two hands and feet. That was the last move before he passed away on Sunday,” the sister-in-law stated.
It was reported that on the day in question, Tulsi was riding motorcycle CM 2969 while Emmanuel was riding motorcycle CM 50. At the time, they were heading in different directions, and according to eyewitnesses, both bikers were in the process of overtaking a line of vehicles thus resulting in a head-on collision.
