According to police, motorcar PGG 6698, driven by Shevon Stuart, 43, of Eccles East Bank Demerara, a Guyana Revenue Authority Law Enforcement Officer attached to Skeldon; motorcar PMM 6565, driven and owned by Yogeshwar Dhanram, 37, of Number 70 Village, and motorcycle CE 8684, driven and owned by Rishiram Rambaran with pillion rider Lalita Rambaran, were all heading south when Rambaran, according to Stuart, made a turn from east to west (into her path). This, Stuart reportedly said, caused her to swerve to avoid a collision but the left front side of her vehicle collided with the motorcycle.

The pillion rider was pronounced dead on arrival and her body was taken to the said hospital’s mortuary where it is awaiting a post mortem. Rishiram Rambaran sustained injuries to his head, spine and a broken leg. He was transferred to the New Amsterdam Hospital.
