May 26, 2016 Court Stories, Features / Columnists, News

A 44-year-old father of three will have to spend the next four years in prison after he was found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving when he appeared before Magistrate Rondell Weaver at the Fort Wellington Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.

On May 26, 2015, Hurton Porter, also known as Buckie, of 127 Lovely Lass Village, West Coast Berbice, was driving minibus BNN7615 in a dangerous manner along the Seafield Public Road, West Coast Berbice, when one of its tyres exploded causing the bus to topple several times before coming to a rest.
The injured were rushed to the Fort Wellington Hospital, and the more critical transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Elizabeth Rodney, 54, of 7 Golden Grove, and 26-year-old Murtland Richmond, of 330 Number 28 Village, subsequently succumbed to injuries sustained in the accident.
The court took into consideration pleas of mitigation from the defence attorneys before sentencing Porter to four years in prison on two counts of causing death by dangerous driving.
There were 20 passengers in the bus at the time of the accident.
