One dead, five critical
By Leon Suseran
Mother’s Day ended horribly for one young man who died in a two-car 
collision on the Number Two Village, West Coast Berbice Public Road. Six others were badly injured, most of them critically and are now patients with multiple injuries at the Georgetown Public Hospital. One other has been released.
Ramal ‘Rayman’ Madray, 22, of Bennet Dam, Rosignol Village, West Bank Berbice was driving his car, PFF 9723, around 23:00 hrs on Sunday when he lost control and slammed head on into a car heading in the opposite direction.
Travelling eastward in Madray’s car at the time were his brother, Premal ‘Boy’ Madray, 29, of Lot 203 Bath Settlement, WCB, whose birthday was on Sunday; Satyan ‘Kevin’ Persaud of Adventure, Essequibo Coast and his fiancee Kimberly. The trio survived the crash and is critical in hospital.
The mangled wreck of the Madrays’ car was still, up to late Monday, at the spot where the accident occurred. The other car was towed away. Police ranks are investigating the accident.
The car heading in the direction of Georgetown was being driven by 39- year- old Geeta Persaud, of Bush Lot, WCB. The other occupants were Babita and Kevin (only names given), both of whom are in their 30’s of Golden Grove, WCB. They are friends of Persaud.
While Babita was discharged late Monday, the other two are also listed as critical.
Persaud’s mother, speaking from her Bush Lot residence last evening, said that her daughter, whose husband, Paor Motielall Persaud, was brutally murdered last August in their home, said that Persaud has suffered a broken right leg and is due for surgery soon.
She said that her daughter has also suffered head, stomach and hand injuries.
The mother of the Madray boys, Pam Madray, was inconsolable. She said that the younger boy who perished, worked with his father, Malcolm Madray, selling rice and bran.
“He was a very loving son to me; he cared so much for me”, she said. She last spoke with him earlier in Sunday evening when she telephoned him and “me asked he if he ain’t coming home and he said ‘mommy ah coming’”.
It was indeed a very tragic end to what had been deemed a very memorable Mother’s Day. It was the birthday of her other son, the one who survived. She even posed for photographs with her son, Ramal Madray, at home earlier on Mother’s Day.
Little did she know that would be her last moments with the boy, and indeed final photos she would ever take with him.
