(Kaieteur News) – An 18-year-old girl lost her life Sunday afternoon after her vehicle collided with a light pole along the Riverstown Public Road, Region Two, Pomeroon-Supenaam.
The dead teen has been identified as Nayomi Singh of Huist T’Dieren, Region Two.
Kaieteur News understands that the accident occurred at approximately 17:00 hrs. Reports indicate that Singh was driving along the Riverstown Public Road when a motorcyclist allegedly swerved into her path. In an attempt to avoid a collision, she reportedly veered away but lost control of her vehicle and crashed into a nearby light pole. The impact caused extensive damage to the front driver’s side of the car.
Public-spirited citizens rushed to the scene and pulled Singh from the wreckage before transporting her to the Suddie Public Hospital. Unfortunately, she was pronounced dead on arrival. Her body was later taken to the Suddie Mortuary, where it awaits a post-mortem examination.
Singh, a former student of the Abram Zuil Secondary school and youth parliamentarian, was renowned for excellence in debating competitions.
