Unlicenced driver in deadly Stewartville accident released on bail

The driver of the motor car that was involved in an accident in June which claimed the life of 20-year-old Venezuelan national Alejandra Brazon has been released on $800,000 bail after he was slapped with a charge of causing death by dangerous driving.
Thirty-three-year-old Anthony Ralph was arraigned last week before Magistrate Zamilla Ally-Seepaul at the Leonora Magistrate’s Court. He was not required to plead to the indictable charge which alleged that on June 21, 2021, at Stewartville, West Coast Demerara (WCD), he drove motor car PRR 2014 in a manner dangerous to the public thereby causing the death of Brazon.
On this charge, he was granted $800,000 bail. The defendant was also charged with being an unlicenced driver and driving an uninsured and uncertified motor vehicle. He was also released on bail after pleading not guilty to these charges.
It was reported that Brazon was killed after the motor car in which she and four others were travelling slammed into a utility pole at Stewartville and split into two halves. Ralph was driving the vehicle at the time of the accident.
Reports are that Ralph was driving motor car PRR 2014, and was proceeding east along the northern side of the Stewartville Public Road at a fast rate of speed when he overtook another motor car, which was proceeding in the same direction along the northern side.

Police said that after overtaking, the vehicle was returning onto the northern carriageway, when the driver lost control and struck a Guyana Power and Light pole on the northern parapet before being flung into a nearby trench.
As a result of the collision, the car split into two. The driver and the occupants were all picked up in an unconscious state and taken to Leonora Cottage Hospital.
Brazon was pronounced dead on arrival while the others were taken to the West Demerara Regional Hospital (WDRH) for further medical attention.
In addition, a 34-year-old truck driver, Tillackram Dindial of Lot 21 Hope West, Enmore, East Coast Demerara (ECD), was charged with causing death by dangerous driving. He, however, appeared at the Vigilance Magistrate’s Court.
He was released on $500,000 bail. It is alleged that on July 5, 2021, at Hope West, Enmore Access Road, ECD, he drove motor lorry GWW 8721 in a manner dangerous to the public thereby causing the death of 38-year-old Rajin Persad, a goldsmith of Foulis, ECD.
It was reported that on the day in question, Dindial was operating the truck on the northern parapet of Hope West, Enmore Access Road, in the vicinity of his premises. At the time, he was in the process of offloading sand. While lowering the tray of the vehicle, Police said that Dindial reversed, and soon after his wife shouted out to him that he had run over one of their dogs.
However, upon making checks, he observed Persad under the truck with what appeared to be blood about his body.  An injured Persad was picked up by public-spirited citizens and rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
According to the Police, a breathalyser test was conducted on Dindial but found no trace of alcohol in his system. But this was opposed after persons in the area had stated that the man was heavily intoxicated.
