Intoxicated jilted lover crashes car, several injured
Three persons narrowly escaped death after the car in which they were travelling collided with another along the Riverstown Public Road, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam), on Friday evening.
Based on information received, a taxi was proceeding along the Riverstown Public Road when an X-Trail bearing registration number PVV 8635, which was travelling in the same direction at a fast rate of speed, reportedly slammed into the motor car. The taxi toppled several times before coming to a halt while the X-Trail flipped once and crashed into a utility pole.
The driver of the X-Trail was allegedly intoxicated and had a relationship issue with his girlfriend.
Residents in the area told Guyana Times that after the accident, the young man started to cry and said “Nobody don’t know how I feel… My girl giving me problem and I going and commit suicide.”
One resident recalled, “We were inside the house when he heard the loud impact on the road and we rushed out to see what happened and we neighbour heard the impact also and started to call for her son because he left to go out at the said time.”
The driver of the motor car and the other occupants were rushed to the Suddie Public Hospital where they were treated and admitted as patients. The jilted lover was also treated at the medical facility and later handed over to the Police as investigations continue.
