A 44-year-old driver from East Bank Berbice (EBB), Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne-Berbice), is now dead following a Friday morning car crash along the Good Hope Public Road, Mahaica, East Coast Demerara (ECD), Region Four (Demerara-Mahaica).
The crash occurred around 03:38h on November 28.
Dead is Julius Mandella Haniff, of Lot Edinburgh, EBB. He was driving motor car PAG 9310, owned by Paray Kuldip. Also in the vehicle at the time was his 39-year-old wife, Yurajwatie Hussain, who resides at the same address and is currently pregnant.
According to a police report, the car was travelling west along the southern lane of the Good Hope Public Road when the driver reportedly lost control on the wet roadway, which was slippery due to rainfall. The vehicle veered off course and slammed into a concrete utility pole on the southern grass parapet.
Both Haniff and Hussain sustained injuries. Public-spirited citizens rushed to assist and transported them to the Mahaicony Cottage Hospital, where they were examined by medical personnel. Hussain was treated and later discharged.
