POLICE are investigating a fatal accident which occurred at around 06:45 hours Wednesday morning on the Land of Canaan Public Road, East Bank Demerara (EBD).

Dead is 50-year-old Joseph Harmon of Relief, a few villages away.
An initial police investigation has revealed that Harmon was struck by a motor lorry when he exited the minibus in which he was travelling to allow another passenger to join it.
According to the police, the motor lorry (GRR 9592) was being driven by a 28-year-old, and the minibus (BSS 8672) by a 32-year-old.
Both vehicles, they say, were proceeding north on the western side of the road, while another, a motorcar (PTT 9066), was proceeding in the opposite direction.
Reports are that as the minibus stopped and Harmon alighted onto the pavement, the lorry lost control and hit him and the minibus into the oncoming motorcar.
He was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, but was pronounced dead on arrival.
Breathalyzer tests were administered on the drivers and no alcohol was detected. Both men are in custody assisting with further investigations.
