Nov 16, 2012 News

 

Yet another accident in Guyana’s interior region has claimed a life – a 51 year-old power saw operator was killed in the Puruni trail, Region 7.
Wayne Samuels of 5 Public Road, Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara was pronounced dead on arrival at the Bartica Hospital sometime after 19:00 hours on Wednesday.
The dead man’s wife, Carmen Samuels, told this publication that she received the news shortly after the accident occurred. Mrs. Samuels said a female from the company where her husband was employed had called and related the news. The woman said she was in disbelief. A little later a rank from the Bartica Police Station came and informed the woman that her husband’s body was at the mortuary.
Mrs. Samuels said she last spoke to her husband at around 13:00 hours on Wednesday, but saw him last Friday.
“He left home last Friday to go back to work and every day for the week he called and yesterday he called and told me that he was at Itaballi and they leaving to go back in the backdam,”
The woman further related that on Wednesday her husband contacted her via mobile phone.
“When he call he tell me that he love me, I shouldn’t worry about nothing and that he leaving to go back in the backdam,”
This publication was told that Samuels and four other persons were heading along the Puruni trail when the 4×4 pickup they were traveling in toppled several times.
A source at Bartica told Kaieteur News that the driver of the vehicle was proceeding at a fast rate and lost control of the vehicle at a spot where several other accidents have occurred.
Another passenger, Frederick Stephens, sustained injuries to his neck and hands.
