A young man is now dead and another is in critical condition following an early morning accident on the Le Ressouvenir Public Road, East Coast Demerara (ECD).
Dead: Sudesh Mahadeo
The fatal accident occurred around 01:15h on Saturday morning.
Dead is 18-year-old Sudesh Mahadeo of Lot 20 Bee Hive, ECD. The driver of the vehicle is in critical condition at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC). Another 19-year-old male occupant was in the vehicle but escaped unhurt.
It was reported that the three young men were in motor car PKK 2362, and were proceeding east along the northern carriageway of Le Ressouvenir Public Road, ECD, at a fast rate of speed when the driver lost control of the vehicle. In the process, the vehicle spun twice and collided with a concrete fence just off the road’s northern edge.
As a result of the collision, Mahadeo was flung through the front windshield, and onto the road. He was found lying motionlessly whilst the driver and other occupant were stuck in the vehicle.
An ambulance was summoned but Mahadeo was pronounced dead at the scene. The body was subsequently taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital’s mortuary and is awaiting a post-mortem examination.
The driver was admitted as a patient of the GPHC in critical condition.
When contacted on Saturday evening, Mahadeo’s family members were too grief-stricken to speak with the media.
Investigations are in progress. (G9)
