The four teenagers who tragically lost their lives in an accident at Canal No Two, West Bank Demerara, in the early hours of Sunday morning, all died from multiple injuries.
This was revealed on Monday after Government Pathologist, Dr Nehaul Singh performed four separate post-mortem examinations on the bodies of the teenagers.
The PMEs were done on the bodies of Daveanand Singh, Daniel Terbeni, Divyanie Narine and Amiesha Yasoda Jaikaran at the Ezekiel Funeral Home at Best Village, West Coast Demerara.
Singh, Terbeni, Narine and Jaikaran lost their lives after the vehicle in which they were travelling crashed into a parked truck and then into a fence along the Resource Public Road, Canal No 2 Polder, WBD.
Reports are that the accident occurred at about 01:30h on Sunday morning.
Police stated that the motor car bearing registration number, PAE 5773, was being driven by Singh at the time of the accident. It is believed 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 and another occupant were taken to the West Demerara Regional Hospital, where they died while receiving medical attention. Following the horrific smash-up, the residents rushed out in their numbers to provide assistance. One resident, Bhagwandin Roopnarine, related that he was awakened by the loud impact and rushed out of his house.
