According to information reaching Kaieteur News, the fatal accident occurred just around 19:15hrs.
The police reported that the 54-year-old bus driver told them that he was traveling east along the northern side of the road when he observed a black motorcar (with registration number PSS 1233), which was parked on the northern of the roadway facing east with the driver’s side door opened.
