Dead, David Rose.
Dead is 67-year David Rose of Springlands, Corentyne Berbice and hospitalized is Shenezia Rose.

The driver of the van is in police custody assisting with investigations. Rose was popularly known for not only selling snow cones but reportedly making the best homemade ice-cream in Berbice.
