Police have launched an investigation into a serious accident that occurred on the Lusignan Public Road, East Coast Demerara on Thursday at about 10:45h.
That accident involved motor lorry GHH 5392, driven by 28-year-old Atash Singh of No 71 Village, Corentyne Berbice and motorcar PYY 6812, owned and driven by 31-year-old Jameela Kelvin of Norton Street in Wortmanville, Georgetown.
Preliminary investigations revealed that Singh was proceeding east along the northern carriageway of the Lusignan Public Road at a high rate of speed when he reportedly lost control of the lorry, and it collided with a Guyana Power and Light (GPL) utility pole situated at the centre of the roadway before crashing into Kelvin’s motor car, which was travelling west along the southern carriageway of that road. Reeling from that impact, the lorry then barrelled into a foundational post of a house situated along the roadside, causing additional damage.
