THE driver of a truck died Thursday afternoon when the vehicle toppled along the Linden/Lethem trail while ascending an area called ‘Devil’s Hill’ located between Mabura and the Kurupukari Crossing.

Dead is Anil Persaud. He is said to be 35, of Norton Street, Lodge, Georgetown.
Porter Dexter Robert and two other occupants of the vehicle, Shevrin Sutherland and Carlos Romerio– a Venezuelan– sustained injuries and were admitted to the Linden Hospital Complex for treatment. Reports are that about 14:00hrs on Thursday at Devil’s Hill, the vehicle- -a motor lorry bearing registration BBC 9430–was proceeding north ascending the hill and, while at the approach at the top of the hill, the trailer, which was loaded with 20 and 40 feet logs, began to descend. The driver attempted to engage the gears of the truck and attempted to make a right turn; however, the vehicle turned over, pinning him inside.
Police investigations are ongoing.
