Well-known spiritual leader among 3 killed in late-night crash on Linden–Mabura Trail 

Three people, including a well-known spiritual leader, lost their lives following a late-night traffic accident on the newly asphalted Linden–Mabura Trail on Thursday night. The fatal crash occurred at about 21:30h and involved a motor lorry and a hire car.
The deceased have been identified as Marcus Berley, 32, a hire car driver of One Mile, Wismar; Andrew Irvin, 52, a well-known spiritual leader, also of One Mile, Wismar; and Maureen Patricia Woodley, 81, a Jamaican-born, naturalised United States citizen.
Preliminary investigations revealed that hire car HD 6751 was proceeding west along the southern side of the roadway, allegedly at a fast rate of speed, when it collided with the right rear of motor lorry GJJ 4000, which was attached to trailer TSS 4613. The lorry was reportedly parked along the southern side of the road, facing west at the time of the incident.

As a result of the impact, the driver and the two occupants of the hire car sustained critical injuries. They were rushed to the Linden Hospital Complex in an unconscious state, where they were seen and examined by a doctor on duty and pronounced dead on arrival.
The driver of the motor lorry, a 36-year-old man of Craig, East Bank Demerara, is currently in police custody, assisting investigators as enquiries continue into the circumstances surrounding the accident.

Meanwhile, news of the tragic deaths, particularly that of Irvin, has sent shockwaves through the Linden community and beyond. Since the incident, scores of tributes and messages of condolence have been posted on social media by friends, relatives, and persons who said they were spiritually guided and supported by him over the years.
Several commenters described Irvin as humble, kind-hearted, and deeply committed to helping others, noting that his passing represents a significant loss not only to his family but also to the wider community he served. Others extended condolences to the families of all three victims, calling for greater caution along the trail, especially at night.
Investigations remain ongoing.
