Taxi driver dies in E.B.D. crash
Mashramani plans were tragically cut short for Daniel David Hinds after he lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a nearby culvert at Rahaman’s Park, East Bank Demerara, yesterday.
Dead: Daniel David Hinds
Hinds, who recently became a father, lived at Mocha Arcadia, East Bank Demerara (EBD). According to reports, Hinds was traveling at a fast rate when he noticed traffic policemen on the roadway in the vicinity of Rahaman’s Park. He was heading home when he lost control of his vehicle PPP 7130, reportedly while trying to slow down so that the traffic police would not see him speeding. He subsequently lost control of his vehicle which crashed into a nearby drain.
According to eyewitnesses, the car spun three times before hitting the edge of the nearby drain and toppled.
At the accident scene, Leon Hinds, the deceased’s older brother was inconsolable and in a state of disbelief.
Relatives described Hinds as an easy going individual. When Kaieteur News visited the deceased mother’s home family members were in a state of shock.
The dead man’s mother opined that her son’s death was of an occult nature. She was heard saying, “They killed my son with obeah!” “And she (name of woman) at home laughing and saying let that be a lesson for the family”.
She said that even her son’s boss, Victor McKenzie, the owner of Pretty Posse Taxi Service where her son was employed, was in shock and spoke well of her son. It was noted that Hinds was off duty when the accident occurred.
His reputed wife, Naomi Vanbuckley, who is the mother of the victim’s one month old son, said that they lived together with his stepmother and father.

She said that Daniel was on his way home to collect her and their son.
She related that she was at home when she received the news via phone calls from Hinds’ workmates.
David Daniel Hinds is survived by his reputed wife, one month old son, his mother, his younger sister and older brother, Leon Hinds.
