A 25-year-old police sergeant was among two persons who died in separate road accidents early Saturday.
Dead are police sergeant, Ronaldo Brummel, 25 and 50-year-old Barrat Persaud, said to be a vagrant with no fixed place of adobe.
Brummel died at around 12:30 hours on the Montrose, East Coast Demerara (ECD) Public Road while Persaud lost his life around 01:30 hours at New Road, Vreed-en-Hoop, West Coast Demerara (WCD).

According to the police report, Brummel, who was stationed at Traffic Headquarters and attached to the Commissioner of Police Secretariat, was riding motorcycle CM 9530, when Ravin Singh, a 27-year-old Montrose, ECD resident crashed into him.
Based on reports received, Singh was proceeding east on the northern carriageway of the Montrose Public Road when he allegedly made a ‘U-Turn’ and collided with the motorcyclist who was riding in the opposite direction on the southern carriageway.

The police sergeant subsequently fell onto the roadway as a result of the collision and sustained severe injuries. He was picked up in an unconscious state and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The driver is in custody, assisting with the investigation.

Meanwhile, on the West Coast of Demerara, 45-year-old Jermaine Wallerson was driving a hire car—HD 3236, when he alleged that the 50-year-old pedestrian walked into his path.
Based on the police report, the hire car was proceeding west along the southern side of New Road, Vreed-en-Hoop when, according to the driver, the pedestrian, who was standing on the southern edge of the road, suddenly walked across (from North to South) into the path of his vehicle.

The driver told the police that the left side front portion of the car collided with the pedestrian and, as a result, Persaud fell onto the road surface where he received injuries to his head and about his body.
He was pronounced dead at the West Demerara Regional Hospital. A Breathalyzer test was conducted on the driver, and no trace of alcohol was found on his breath.

Both drivers are in police custody.
