Teen killed in La Grange crash
An 18-year-old Public Works Ministry employee was killed at around 02:00 hrs yesterday after a car he was travelling in crashed into a bridge on the La Grange Public Road, West Bank Demerara.
Dead Chad Terrence
The victim, Chad Terrence was a past student of Patentia Secondary School and up to the time of his death an office assistant employed by the Public Works Ministry.
Kaieteur News understands that the teenager and three other men were occupants of HB6244, which was driven by 29-year-old Theophilus Benjamin called “Buckie.”
The driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle which skidded off the road and crashed into a bridge situated over a canal.
The other occupants including the driver sustained injuries but Terrence shared the worst fate. He was pronounced dead of arrival of the West Demerara Regional Hospital while Benjamin was admitted.
Benjamin was later taken into police custody to assist with investigations.
Terrence’s grieving relatives told this newspaper that the young man had left his Lot 31 Goed Intent West Bank Demerara home for GuyExpo on Saturday evening with some relatives and friends.
He later went to an ‘oldies’ dance at the Goed Intent Centre where he was persuaded by friends to attend a bar–be-que at Middle Street Pouderoyen.
Terrence’s aunt, Shelly Moore, said that her nephew was on his way to Pouderoyen when he met his demise. The woman explained that her nephew’s skull had what appeared to be punctures which she believes may have been caused by planks from the bridge.
She said that family members rushed down to the West Demerara Regional Hospital after receiving the news.
“His last words to his mother were mommy ah gone” members of the family lamented.
Terrence was the youngest son of his mother, Yvette Moore. He leaves to mourn his mother, father and four siblings.
