Shanta Jainauth, mother of the dead man told Guyana Times that she received a phone call from her sister-in-law enquiring about her son.
“She ask me if my son at home so I tell she he went out to look after a tyre for the Canter…so she asked if I hear anything happen to him, so I tell she no. She then tell me that she hear he was in an accident…” the grieving mother related.
She immediately contacted her husband but by that time, he was already aware of the accident. The woman further stated that based on reports, her son suffered severe head injuries: “We hear that he had a girl in the car when the accident happened, we hoping that she tell we what really happened but based on what they tell me, is that he swerved from knocking a girl who run over the road and is then he lost control of the car and run into the trailer,” the grieving mother related.
She tearfully stated that one of her sons died five years ago to cancer. He was also 23.
The young man leaves to morning his parents and two siblings. A post-mortem is expected to be conducted on Monday. Traffic ranks in ‘D’ Division have launched an investigation into the accident.
