The 2-vehicle smash-up that occurred outside of the Ruimveldt Police Station in Georgetown on January 8, 2024 has claimed the life of a fourth victim: 58-year-old Lennox Clementson of Guyhoc Gardens.
According to a relative, Clementson died at the GPHC on Sunday at about 17:00h while receiving treatment. He had been admitted as a patient at the city hospital, and had undergone surgery for injuries sustained to his spine and brain in the accident. The relative said Clementson had been a painter by profession, and was on his way to work when the accident occurred.

“He was going well all the time, until after the surgery. He wasn’t on life support, nothing. Right now, everybody is hurt”, the relative explained.
Clementson’s demise comes days after that of 29-year-old Pream Seecharran, called “Romel”, of Belle Vue, West Bank Demerara (WBD), the third victim to have lost his life in that accident.
Initially, the accident had claimed the lives of Sarah Wilson and her husband Rawle McKenzie.
Dead: Lennox Clementson
It was reported that a motorcar driven by the now-dead Seecharran was allegedly travelling at high speed when it collided with a pile of sand that caused it to flip multiple times and migrate onto the opposite carriageway of the Ruimveldt Public Road, where it subsequently collided with the front of Rawle McKenzie’s northbound minibus, BHH 8451, resulting in all occupants sustaining injuries.

Having sustained broken limbs, both drivers had been trapped in their vehicles, and had had to be extricated by firefighters. Wilson, a 51-year-old resident of Samatta Point, Grove, East Bank Demerara, had been seated in the front of the minibus, and was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. Her husband died at the Georgetown Public Hospital hours later, while receiving treatment.
Admitted to the GPHC Intensive Care Unit with head injuries, Seecharran had fought for his life, but had eventually succumbed. And
Clementson had been one of several passengers in the minibus who had sustained injuries.
