NINETEEN-year-old Randy Cummings succumbed to multiple injuries early Monday morning after the car in which he was travelling crashed into a coconut tree at Mahaicony, East Coast Demerara.According to reports, the teenager was returning to his home at Number Five Village, West Coast Berbice, from the Cheddie Jagan International Airport around 07:00 hrs, when the driver of the car lost control of the vehicle.
Consequently, the car, PRR 7426, struck a coconut tree before coming to a halt on the Bath Public Road. The other occupants, Keona Thom, 28, and the driver, Quincy Bailey, 32, both of Hopetown Village, sustained injuries.
They were taken to the Mahaicony Cottage Hospital before being transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital where Thom was treated for a dislocated shoulder, and Bailey for a fractured rib. They have since been discharged from the health institution, and are assisting police with their investigations.

Cummings, however, died just before treatment was administered.
Meanwhile, on Facebook, a friend of the deceased, Lores Onika Bailey, urged persons to cherish the people around as she did not get the opportunity to tell ‘Wacky’ how great a friend he was.
“Make things right with each other; if your neighbour wrong you, work on it, as you are never too big to apologise,” she emphasised.

Police investigations are continuing into the fatal accident.
