toppling several times before ending up in a nearby trench.

Guyana Times understands that the young man was ejected from the vehicle while it was toppling, resulting in him receiving severe head injuries. He was picked up and rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

When contacted, the dead man’s mother told this publication that the family is in mourning and wished not to comment on the accident. However, Guyana Times was told that after the young man did not return home, his parents attempted to contact him but their calls went unanswered. It was not until the Police contacted them informing them about the accident that they became aware that their son was dead. It is unclear where the young man was coming from when he met his demise.

The Police have launched an investigation into the fatal accident. Messages of condolences to his parents have been flooding the young man’s facebook page.
