– as speeding car plunges into trench
A speeding car travelling from Charity, Essequibo Coast in Region Two, plunged into a drainage trench at Bounty Hall late yesterday afternoon after the driver apparently lost control of the vehicle.

According to eyewitness reports, the car, driven by Ezie Bourne, an officer attached to the Land and Surveys Department of the Region Two Administration, ended up in a trench with its four wheels in the air, after ploughing over a bridge and cutting off the trunk of a tree.

Reports say that two passengers in the car, Adrian Boston, 21, and the other yet to be identified, were rushed to the Charity Hospital in an unconscious condition.

Two teenage girls who were reportedly sitting under a tree in front of their yard narrowly missed death when the car hit the tree.

Bourne, the driver of the car escaped injury and was taken into police custody.
