Berbice man dies in accident after overtaking 3 vehicles

A 21-year-old man has succumbed to injuries he sustained in an accident that occurred on Saturday morning along the Number 75 Public Road, Corentyne, Berbice, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne).

Dead is Aftar Wazidally of Scottsburg, Corriverton, Corentyne, who succumbed to his injuries at around 13:30h on Monday while being a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Reports from the Police are that Wazidally was driving motorcar PWW 5659 proceeding north along the western drive lane of Number 75 Village at a fast rate of speed, and he allegedly overtook three vehicles before losing control of the vehicle, which then collided head-on with motorcar PPP 8156, which was proceeding south along the eastern drive land of the road.
Both drivers sustained injuries from that collision, and were each picked up by public-spirited citizens in a conscious condition and taken to the Skeldon Public Hospital. They were both attended to by a doctor on duty before later being transferred to the New Amsterdam Public Hospital, where they were both admitted as patients.
Wazidally, who had sustained injuries to his chest and about his body, was later transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he eventually died.
