Aug 29, 2012 News

 

A horrific accident between a sports car and a minibus on the Essequibo coast earlier this month, has claimed a third life.
Fifteen days after the smashup, 52-year-old Vincent Persaud, the minibus driver, died Sunday at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.
Persaud suffered from injuries he sustained to his head, right arm, leg and hip.
His wife, Savitri Lall, said her husband died early Sunday at the hospital where he had been since the August 12th crash.
She said she is uncertain as to how she is going to sustain herself since her husband was the lone breadwinner of the home.
The accident, at Lima, has also claimed the lives of Junior Ramroop, the son of popular contractor, Roopan ‘Fowl Cock’ Ramotar, and of Reena Rajcoomar, both victims died between hours and several days after the accident.
Ramroop, who was driving a BMW, PPP 733, was heading to Anna Regina, when reports suggests that the car veered into the lane of the minibus which was also heading into the same direction.
