Jun 02, 2015 News

A day of sporting and reckless maneuverings resulted in a fatal road accident on the Alness Public Road, Sunday night around 22:00hrs. Two men are now dead while two others are listed as critical in the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
Dead are Davanand Seosankar, of Anchor, Port Mourant and Affie Jafar Ramaya, 24, of Miss Phoebe, Port Mourant. Kaieteur News understands that Ramaya, the driver of the car, was pronounced dead on arrival at the Port Mourant Hospital, while Seosankar succumbed yesterday afternoon at the GPHC.
The other two men who are now fighting for their lives are taxi driver, Taresh Nandalall, 26, of Ulverston Village, Corentyne Berbice and another man known as ‘Cow’, a barber of Tain.
According to reports, “The men were having a nice time.” They were seen consuming alcohol, lavishly, at various sporting spots during Sunday on the Corentyne.
Kaieteur News was told that just before 22:00hrs, Ramaya travelling east along the northern side of the road to the Upper Corentyne, drove his white wagon car in a reckless manner and hit a donkey before slamming into a truck which was parked on the opposite side of the road.
According to reports the animal was hit so hard that it “burst into pieces”. After hitting the animal and having it land on the roof of the car, the driver lost control and slammed into the parked truck “shifting it”.
The men were rushed to the Port Mourant Hospital before being transferred to the New Amsterdam Hospital and later to the GPHC.
Yesterday as Nandalall was being prepared for surgery, his family members were unable to maintain their composure. They wept uncontrollably outside the Accident and Emergency Unit of GPHC.
