DJ succumbs to injuries after car crashes into koker
Just after he celebrated his birthday this weekend, DJ Shawn Lee called “Gaza Prince” has succumbed to his injuries following an accident at Friendship, East Bank Demerara (EBD), on Sunday.
The 25-year-old resident of Timehri Base Road, EBD, succumbed to his injuries at around 08:19h on Monday morning.
Reports are that Lee was the driver of motor car PTT 1796, which was proceeding south along Friendship Public Road at a fast rate of speed at about 15:20h on Sunday afternoon. Kimberly Agard, a 23-year-old female from Timehri, was an occupant in the car at the time, seated in the front passenger seat of the vehicle.
It is alleged that the driver lost control of the vehicle as he was negotiating a bend in the road. As a result, he collided with a concrete culvert and the vehicle flipped before ending up in a trench.
The driver and occupant both received injuries to their heads and about their bodies.
They were pulled out of the submerged vehicle by public-spirited citizens and rushed to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre, East Bank Demerara, where they were examined and subsequently referred to the Georgetown Public Hospital.
The driver, who sustained a fractured left leg and head injuries, was admitted to the ICU in critical condition where he spent a few hours before succumbing. The body was taken to the GPHC’s Mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination.
Meanwhile, the female occupant, who received head injuries, was also admitted at GPHC. Her condition is listed as stable. Further investigations are in progress.
In light of his passing, several personalities from the entertainment industry shared their condolences.
