Carifesta Avenue fatal crash…Pyles laid to rest
There was much weeping among the ranks of the military and the medical professionals,
The caskets of Sergeant Robert Pyle and his wife Stacy Pyle at the Golden Grove Seventh Day Adventist Church
along with relatives and friends as they gathered to bid farewell to the couple who lost their lives following a horrific accident on Carifesta Avenue on December 30, 2015.
The couple was two of three who died tragically on that fateful night. The tributes were many for both Robert Pyle, a Guyana Defence Force Sergeant, who was driving the car, and his wife Stacy Pyle, a nurse attached to the Davis Memorial Hospital.
Robert Pyle was accorded a full military funeral.
Although the victims appeared to have died on the spot, they were officially pronounced dead at the Georgetown Public Hospital minutes after they were pulled from the two wrecks.
Eyewitnesses said that the car, PRR 9118, in which the Pyles were travelling, was heading east. It was overtaking another vehicle when it ended up into the path of the oncoming Canter truck.
To avoid a head on collision, the driver of the car swerved, taking the impact on the left side of his car.
Stacy Pyle was sitting in the front passenger seat and took the brunt of the impact. It took the efforts of firefighters to free her from the wreck.
They also had to use special equipment to free the Canter truck driver, Linden Eastman, 62, called ‘Smallie’.
The bodies of Sgt. Robert Pyle and his wife Nurse Stacy Pyle were first set for viewing at Lyken’s Funeral Parlour from 10:00hrs. The woman’s casket was taken to Davis Memorial Hospital for a short viewing, thence to the Golden Grove Seventh Day Adventist Church for funeral service before burial at the Golden Grove Cemetery.
The Pyles were the parents of two boys.
