2 die after speeding car flips, is submerged in trench

Shane Tyndall, a 39-year-old, and Shabeca Gordon, a 35-year -old, who both reside at Lot 609, East Ruimveldt in Georgetown, lost their lives on Thursday at about 08:00h, after the car in which they were travelling became uncontrollable and flipped multiple times before plunging into a canal that runs parallel to the Haags Bosch main access road, also known as Dump Site Road, in Eccles, East Bank Demerara.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the car, PAJ 375, was being driven by Tyndall at a high rate of speed in an easterly direction along the northern driving lane of Dump Site Road when he lost control of the vehicle and it collided with a concrete rail at the edge of the roadway.

The force of impact caused the car to flip multiple times over a distance of approximately 130 feet further east before plunging into a trench on the northern side of the road, where it became fully submerged.
Public-spirited citizens who rushed to assist the duo managed to extract them from the submerged vehicle in an unconscious state, but when Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) from the Ambulance Service arrived on the scene, they pronounced both Tyndall and Gordon dead.
Their bodies are currently at the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, where they await post-mortem examinations.
Police have since launched an investigation of this tragic incident.
