3-year-old, among 2 killed after car crashes into concrete piles

…4 injured

A three-year-old and a 50-year-old man has lost their lives in a devastating accident occurred at the intersection of the Heroes Highway and the Diamond Main Access Road, East Bank Demerara (EBD), resulting in the loss of two lives, including that of a three-year-old girl.

Dead are Elliana Persaud, a three-year-old toddler, and 50-year-old Bhagat Singh of Providence Housing Scheme, EBD.
Singh tragically lost his teenage son in a similar incident just five months ago.
The fatal incident occurred at about 18:10h on Tuesday night, as motorcar PAD 6435, with six occupants, collided into concrete piles on the side of Diamond Main Access Road.

The other occupants of the vehicle were 21-year-old Daniel Gomes, along with 23-year-old Britney Hendricks, Tresha Singh, and one-year-old Emily Persaud, all residents of Providence Housing Scheme.
According to the police, Gomes was allegedly speeding along the eastern carriageway of Heroes Highway, missed a crucial diversion marked by lawfully placed reflectors and road markings. These indicators were intended to guide vehicles into a westward turn onto Diamond Main Access Road, which Gomes failed to execute as specified.
Police said that public spirited persons rescue the occupants of the vehicle. However, three-year-old Elliana succumbed to her injuries during medical treatment at Diamond Diagnostic Centre. Singh was pronounced dead at hospital. The remaining two occupants were admitted for observation.
The survivors are currently hospitalised, with Hendricks at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) in Critical Bay, and Gomes admitted as a patient.
Bhagat Singh lost his 17-year-old son Devanand Singh just five months ago in a road accident at Canal Number 2, West Bank Demerara. In that incident, Devanand Singh lost control of the vehicle, leading to the deaths of three other teens.

Along with Devanand Singh, 19-year-old Daniel Terbeni, 18-year-old Divyanie Narine, and 19-year-old Amiesha Yasoda Jaikaran also died in that accident.
Police had reported that the young man was reportedly speeding and as a result, he lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the rear of a parked lorry.
After hitting the lorry, the vehicle then crashed into a concrete fence. Two of the occupants were pronounced dead at the scene, whilst the driver (Devanand) and another occupant were taken to the West Demerara Regional Hospital in an unconscious condition, where they died while receiving medical attention.
