Cop succumbs 4 days after accident at Fort Wellington

A 27-year-old Police Constable succumbed to his injuries on Friday, four days after being involved in an accident along the Fort Wellington Public Road, West Coast Berbice (WCB).
The dead cop has been identified as Dwight Chester, a father of one and late resident of Mahaicony, East Coast Demerara and Cotton Tree, West Coast Berbice.
While details of the accident remain sketchy, <<Guyana Times>> has been informed that Chester had hosted a party called “Last, Last” in Mahaicony on May 25, and had allegedly left that party under the influence of alcohol in the wee hours of May 26 with two passengers in the vehicle he was driving at the time. It is surmised that Chester may have fallen asleep at the wheel, and thus crashed into a utility pole located a short distance from the Fort Wellington Hospital.

The impact of that crash caused the bus he was driving to burst into flames. A porter exiting the hospital noticed the burning bus and raised an alarm. The fire was extinguished, but Chester was nowhere to be found.
He was later found in an unconscious state in a clump of bushes, and was rushed to the New Amsterdam Hospital before later being transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he remained on life support until his demise.
He had sustained severe burns about his body among other serious injuries. The two passengers had also suffered serious injuries.
