A tragic accident which occurred on Friday evening along the La Union Public Road, West Coast Demerara (WCD), has resulted in the death of 53-year-old Vickram Persaud, a resident of Harlem, WCD.
Based on reports received, Persaud reportedly drove his motor car, PNN 8879, onto the public road without observing the flow of traffic thus resulting in a collision with motor lorry GAD 1723, driven by a 39-year-old man of Cove and John, East Coast Demerara (ECD).
