POLICE in Regional Division 4’C’ are investigating a fatal accident that claimed the life of 59-year-old Geewanram Girdharry, a resident of Bee Hive Railway Embankment, following a tragic incident along the Bee Hive public road on Tuesday evening.

The accident occurred at approximately 17:30 hrs and involved motorcar PAC 9952, which was being driven by Girdharry himself.
According to police reports, Girdharry was proceeding south along the Bee Hive access road in his vehicle when he attempted to overtake another car, motorcar PMM 2628.

In the process, his vehicle reportedly clipped the side mirror of the other car. Girdharry then swerved, lost control of the vehicle, and crashed into a trench located on the northern parapet of the Bee Hive public road.
The car became fully submerged, trapping Girdharry underwater. With the assistance of public-spirited citizens, the 59-year-old man was removed from the vehicle and rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, where he was sadly pronounced dead on arrival.

A breathalyzer test conducted on the driver of the other vehicle, PMM 2628, revealed a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.000, ruling out alcohol impairment.

Authorities have since launched a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
