A THREE-VEHICLE collision that occurred Tuesday morning on the Rupert Craig Highway has now turned fatal, following the death of Narayan Leon Sikandar, the driver of motorcar #PMM 3778. Sikandar, who was admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) with severe injuries, succumbed around 08:15 hrs on Wednesday while undergoing emergency surgery.

Sikandar’s body is currently at the GPHC mortuary, awaiting a post-mortem examination. Police have launched a full investigation into the incident.
The accident took place at approximately 09:00 hrs on Tuesday, July 1, along the Rupert Craig Highway, near the University of Guyana Access Road.
It involved three vehicles: Hire car #HD 3223, owned and driven by 63-year-old Neil Lewis of Sisters Village, East Bank Berbice (with two male passengers); motorcar PAK 9877, driven by Kamel Daniels and motorcar PMM 3778, driven by the now-deceased Narayan Sikandar

According to police investigations, motorcar PAK 9877 was travelling east along the northern carriageway at a high speed. Upon approaching the UG Access Road, the driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle, causing it to swerve south, cross the concrete median, and crash into the right side of Sikandar’s westbound vehicle (PMM 3778).
The impact pushed Sikandar’s car into the right front of hire car HD 3223, which was also heading west on the southern carriageway.
All three vehicles sustained extensive damage, and all drivers and passengers were injured. Sikandar was admitted with a fractured right arm, while the other individuals sustained facial lacerations and chest pains. Their conditions are currently stable.

Public-spirited citizens assisted in transporting the injured to the Georgetown Public Hospital’s Accident and Emergency Unit.
The Guyana Police Force continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash.
