Four persons were rushed to the Suddie Public Hospital on the Essequibo Coast in a critical state following a vehicular accident on the public road at the village early Tuesday morning.
Reports are that the driver of a white Toyota Spacio motorcar, bearing registration PVV 3599, was speeding along the roadway at Suddie when he lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a trench.
An eyewitness related to Guyana Chronicle that he was in his room when he heard a loud impact. He immediately raised an alarm and public spirited citizens converged at the scene and tended to the three passengers and the driver who was reportedly intoxicated.
The eyewitness alleged that the persons in the vehicle may have been on a drinking spree since they were many beer bottles in the car.
When the Guyana Chronicle visited the scene early Tuesday morning, the mangled vehicle was lying on the grass at the scene of the accident.
Police are currently investigating the accident.
