Kaieteur News- A 28-year-old man lost his life on Tuesday evening, after crashing into a car which was proceeding in the opposite direction on the Bee Hive public road, East Coast Demerara (ECD).
Dead is Dindyal Rantydeo of Mahaicony, ECD. Several other persons were injured in the accident.

“Motor car #PAH 766 was proceeding east along the northern driving lane of Bee Hive public road when the driver alleged that he saw another car proceeding west on the southern driving lane, with its hazard lights flashing since a horse was crossing the road,” police said.
It said further revealed that motor car #PGG 2109, which was proceeding west, overtook the vehicle (with the hazard lights on) and collided with the front portion of motor car #PAH 766, which was proceeding in the opposite direction. As a result of the collision, the occupants of #PAH 766 received injuries on their bodies, along with the driver and occupant of #PGG 2109.”
Rantydeo was picked up in an unconscious state by public-spirited citizens, placed into a police vehicle and escorted to Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Meanwhile, the other injured persons were escorted to Mahaicony Hospital for medical attention.
Officers of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) visited the scene at approximately 20:10 hrs, where a breathalyser test was done on the driver. No trace of alcohol was found on his breath. The vehicles involved in the accident were lodged to be examined by a licencing and certifying officer, and a notice of intended prosecution was served.
