At the time of the crash, he was driving a motor pickup, PRR 2272.
Reports are that the man lost control of the vehicle at Number 72 Village, Corentyne and slammed into a parked car, HC 3733, propelling the pickup into the air. The pickup landed in the tray of a parked lorry, GJJ 7052.

However, the car into which he slammed has been written off.
At the time, the man was returning to Georgetown and he was the only occupant in the car and was carrying a firearm, which was retrieved after the crash.

In another incident at Timehri, EBD, a towering 20-foot Superbet sign became the subject of a vehicular mishap, as a vehicle veered off course, striking a canter before demolishing three concrete posts and a separation wall.
The impact caused significant structural damage, with nearly half of the building’s upper portion collapsing under the force.
As of now, it remains unclear whether any individuals sustained injuries in the Timehri accident.
