Three people, including a child, have died over the weekend as a result of road accidents. The first was Mukesh Mangar, a 38 –year-old porter of Pigeon Island, East Coast Demerara, who fell from the tray of a Canter truck at around 15:20hrs on Saturday.
According to police, Mangar fell as the driver of the vehicle was negotiating a turn along the Hope Public Road.
He succumbed shortly after being taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
Mangar’s accident comes after several warnings were issued about the dangers of persons traveling in the trays of open vehicles.
Motorcyclist Mohamed Khalid, 22, of Dryshore, Essequibo Coast died at around 22:00hrs following another accident which occurred at Fairfield, Essequibo Coast.
A police press statement explained that Khalid, and pillion rider, 19-year-old Garbadan Whadan of Aurora, also on the Essequibo Coast, were proceeding along the roadway when they collided with a dog that ran across the road.
As a result both men fell off the motorcycle and sustained injuries. Whadan was transferred to the GPHC where he succumbed sometime yesterday.
Meanwhile, at about 14:15hrs yesterday, Dinesh Chand, eight, of Brothers Village, Corentyne, was struck down by a motorcar while crossing the public road at Tain, Corentyne.
The child was pronounced dead on arrival at the New Amsterdam Hospital. The driver of the motorcar is in police custody. Investigations into these incidents are continuing.
