Dead: Mashaun Tyrell
It was reported that following his social engagement, Tyrell left and proceeded west along the Railway Embankment. However, he lost control of his vehicle while navigating a left bend.
This caused the vehicle to overturn, landing in a nearby trench and submerged. Tyrell was trapped inside the wreckage for an extended period until the intervention of the Guyana Fire and Rescue Service. Subsequently, emergency medical technicians (EMTs) extricated Tyrell from the driver’s seat and transferred him to the Accident and Emergency Unit at Georgetown Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
