According to Kaieteur News’ previous report, the motor lorry driven by Singh was travelling north along the western side of the road, allegedly at a fast rate.

Reports are that the two vehicles ended up in a head on collision causing both vehicles to receive extensive damages. Both the drivers along with two other occupants of the motor lorry and one from the car were taken to the GPHC. They were all admitted to the ICU in a serious but stable condition. However, Damon, age 26, a nurse and mother of one, who was in the motorcar, succumbed to her injuries on New Year’s Day.
