A 29-year-old man from Prince William Street, Plaisance, East Coast Demerara (ECD), was, on Wednesday, arraigned in the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court #1 in connection with a fatal road accident that occurred earlier this week.
Adrian Evans, who was arrested on Sunday, November 9, 2025, faces charges of causing death by dangerous driving and prohibition of tinted glass. The case was heard before His Worship Senior Magistrate Clive Nurse.
Evans was not required to plead to the causing death by dangerous driving charge and was placed on $600,000 bail, with conditions to surrender his passport and report to the Sparendaam Police Station every first Friday until the conclusion of the matter.
He pleaded not guilty to the tinted glass charge and was granted $25,000 bail, with the matter adjourned to December 23, 2025.
The fatal accident occurred at approximately 02:30 hours on Sunday, November 9, 2025, on the Sparendaam Public Road, East Coast Demerara.

The impact caused Kumar to fall onto the roadway, sustaining multiple injuries, including lacerations and a broken right leg. He was transported in an unconscious state to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), where he was admitted for treatment.
