POLICE have launched an investigation into a fatal accident that occurred on Sunday, March 16, 2025, at approximately 20:30 hrs at Yarrowkabra, Soesdyke-Linden Highway. The incident involved a motor lorry and a motor car, resulting in the death of 25-year-old Asgar Ramirez of Lot 82 Duke Street, Kingstown, Georgetown.

According to preliminary investigations, Ramirez was driving motor car #PRR 7155, a silver-coloured vehicle, north along the western side of the highway at a high speed when he lost control and crashed into the rear of a parked lorry.
The lorry, a blue vehicle bearing registration #GAG 5478, belongs to Mohamed’s Excavating Service and was driven by 31-year-old Anthony Vriese of Madewini Village, Soesdyke-Linden Highway.

Reports indicate that the lorry had encountered mechanical issues around 16:30 hrs on the same day. The matter was reported to the Highway Patrol Base, and police officers responded by securing the area with reflective cones around the front, rear, and sides of the vehicle. At the time of the collision, Vriese and other individuals were attending to the lorry’s repairs.

The impact of the crash caused extensive damage to both vehicles. Ramirez suffered severe head and bodily injuries. Police officers and members of the public assisted in extracting him from the wreckage, after which he was transported to the Diamond Hospital by a passing vehicle. Upon arrival, he was examined by Dr. Baker and pronounced dead.

The body of the deceased was subsequently taken to Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, where it awaits a post-mortem examination.
Meanwhile, Anthony Vriese has been taken into custody and is assisting police with the ongoing investigation.
