AN autopsy on the bodies of Lloyd Valcin, 42, and his 31-year-old wife, Olisa Valcin, who were killed Thursday last in a crash on the Caledonia Public Road, East Bank Demerara (EBD), has revealed that they died of multiple injuries consistent with a motor vehicle accident.

The post-mortem was performed on Monday by Dr. Nehaul Singh in the presence of police and the victims’ relatives. The bodies were handed over to the families for funeral arrangements.

Carl Craig, 50, of Lot 150 Public Road, Soesdyke, EBD, the driver of the Canter truck with registration GWW 4922 that was involved in the accident is expected to be charged soon.

The car was being driven by Lloyd Valcin of Wisroc, Linden. Valcin’s wife was pregnant.

According to police headquarters, motor lorry GWW 4922 was proceeding north along the western side of the Caledonia Public Road and the motor car PXX 8815 was proceeding south along the eastern side of the same road.

The police said that as both vehicles were approaching a landfill site situated on the western side of the road, an unknown motor lorry which was transporting sand was reversing from east to west on the road into the landfill site, causing the driver of motor lorry GWW 4922 to pull in a north-easterly direction to pass the reversing lorry.

In so doing, police said he ended up in the path of motorcar PXX 8815 and collided head on. As a result of the collision, the driver of the motorcar and his wife, who was sitting in the left front seat, and Shaquel Williams, who was sitting on the rear seat, received injuries to their heads and about their bodies.

They were all taken out of the car in an unconscious condition by police and public-spirited citizens and escorted to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre.

On arrival there, Lloyd Valcin and his wife were seen and examined by a doctor on duty and died while receiving treatment.

Shaquel Williams was seen and examined and was transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation where he was further seen and examined by a doctor on duty and admitted a patient suffering from body trauma.

A breathalyser test was conducted on the driver of the motor lorry which revealed no presence of alcohol in his system. He is in custody as the police continue their investigation.
