(Kaieteur News) – Police in Regional Division #2 are investigating a fatal motor lorry accident that occurred on Sunday, January 4, 2026, at about 10:46 hrs at Queenstown, Essequibo Coast.
Preliminary investigations revealed that motor lorry GAJ 7403, driven by a 34-year-old man of Hoff-van-Aurich, Essequibo Coast, was proceeding east along the roadway when the driver allegedly lost control while crossing a wooden bridge. The vehicle reportedly toppled into a rice field on the southern side of the road before turning turtle, police said in a statement.
At the time of the incident, a 26-year-old man of Johanna Cecilia was seated in the front passenger seat, while two Venezuelan nationals—men aged 27 and 30, both of Annandale, Essequibo Coast were in the tray of the lorry.
As a result of the accident, 27-year-old Isaias Rojas, a Venezuelan national of Annandale, was pinned beneath the vehicle.
He was extracted from the wreckage and transported to the Suddie Public Hospital in an unconscious state, where he was pronounced dead on arrival by a doctor on duty. His body is currently at the Suddie Public Hospital Mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination.
The driver was arrested and taken into custody to assist with the investigation. A breathalyser test conducted on him revealed a reading of five micrograms, well below the legal limit of 30 micrograms.
