A 10-month-old girl, Zainab Boyer, lost her life in an accident, which occurred on Dennis Street Sophia, Georgetown, in the vicinity of the Juvenile Holding Centre, on Thursday.
According to a release, the accident involved motor car #HC 8812, driven by Keyimo Roopnarine, a 28-year-old of ‘A’ Field Sophia, and motor car # PYY 7263, owned and driven by Khary Boyer, a 26-year-old of Sixth Street, Cummings Lodge.

Enquiries disclosed that motor car #PYY 7263, driven by Boyer was proceeding west along the Southern Drive Lane of Dennis Street, allegedly at a fast rate of speed, with three occupants: 32-year-old Boyer-Singh and the 10-month-old who were seated in the front left passenger seat of the vehicle and five-year-old Raeanne Boyer who was seated in the rear passenger seat of the vehicle.

As the motor car was in the vicinity of the Juvenile Holding Centre, the said driver lost control of the vehicle and swerved right and ended up on the northern drive lane into the path of motor car #HC 8812, which was proceeding east along the northern drive lane.
This resulted in a head-on collision where both vehicles were extensively damaged.
