THE driver of a Toyota Allion on the Den Amstel public road, West Coast, Demerara, on Saturday night was attempting to overtake a Toyota Carina when he slammed into the back of that car and ended up in a trench. 

The driver of the Toyota Allion has since been charged with dangerous driving, the Guyana Chronicle understands.
Dozens of persons converged at the scene at approximately 9:41pm although, fortunately, it was not a fatal accident.
Trevor Withrite, who was driving Toyota Carina, PRR 5272, told the Guyana Chronicle that the driver of the Toyota Allion, PRR 8209, attempted to speed away after hitting into him but soon after he ran off the road and plunged overboard.
However, the driver of PRR 8209 refused to comment when asked to relate what happened. Meanwhile the police came in for criticism over their protracted delay in arriving at the accident scene, since the Den Amstel Police Station is about three minutes away.
