–alcohol and speeding reportedly responsible for tragedy

SHAMEER Haniff, 19, of Little Diamond, East Bank Demerara, accompanied by his friend Roy (only name given), 22, of Canal # 2 Polder, West Bank Demerara, crashed a red Toyota Fielder station wagon, # PPP 6627, into the rear of a low-bed trailer that was parked on the public road at Canal # 2 Polder, West Bank Demerara on Saturday night around 19:30 hrs.

They died on the spot, having been pulled from the mangled wreck in an unresponsive condition when the vehicle was eventually extricated almost from under the trailer, where it had firmly lodged itself.
Mere moments before the tragedy, the duo had reportedly exited a rum shop where they had been imbibing.
Roy, reportedly a logger in the interior, had journeyed to the city to spend the holidays.
