Driver killed, four injured in Teperu crash

A 31 year-old driver was killed and four passengers were injured after the motor pick-up GLL 1388, in which they were travelling, turned turtle along the Teperu Trail, Mazaruni River, Region Seven, on Sunday.

The dead driver was identified as Carlos David of Four and Half Miles, Bartica, Region Seven.

Those injured are: Wesely Rodrigues, 27 Lot 158 Four Miles Housing Scheme Bartica; Emanuel Williams, 28, of Five Miles Bartica; Denzil Lindore, 24, of Four Miles Bartica and Chris Williams, 27, of Five Miles Bartica.

David’s body is currently at the Bartica Regional Hospital’s mortuary awaiting autopsy, while Emanuel Williams and Lindore were reportedly treated at the Hospital and sent away and Williams and Rodrigues were admitted as patients.

Based on information received, the pick-up was proceeding along the Teperu Trail at a fast rate when it is alleged that David, the now dead driver, pulled from a pot hole and lost control.

As a result, the pick-up collided with an object causing it to topple several times before coming to a halt.

The occupants of the vehicle all received injuries and were picked up and taken to the Bartica Regional Hospital where David was pronounced dead on arrival. Investigations continue.
