In the early hours of Sunday, August 27, 2023, a devastating incident occurred on Resource Public Road, Canal #2 Polder, West Bank Demerara, resulting in the loss of four young lives.
The victims have been identified as:
- Daveanand Singh, 17 years old, the driver of the involved car, hailing from Lot 1566 Providence, East Bank Demerara.
- Ameisha Jaikarran, 19 years old, residing on La Grange Old Road, West Bank Demerara.
- Deviane Narine, 18 years old, from Kitty, Georgetown.
- Daniel Tribani, 19 years old, a resident of La Grange, West Bank Demerara.
The incident involved a motorcar with license plate PAE 5773, registered to Marvis Bankay Singh and driven by the 17-year-old Daveanand Singh, accompanied by his passengers. The car collided with a parked motor lorry with license plate GTT 6960, owned by Eric Tucker, a 27-year-old from 24-25 Resource, Canal #2 Polder.
According to initial findings, the motorcar was traveling eastward along the northern side of the access road at a high speed. Tragically, the 17-year-old driver lost control of the vehicle, causing it to veer onto the northern parapet and collide with the rear of the parked motor lorry, which was facing east on the same parapet. The impact of the collision further led the motorcar to crash into a concrete fence situated north of the public road.
The consequences of the collision were dire. Two of the occupants lost their lives at the scene, while the driver and another passenger were rushed in an unconscious state to the West Demerara Regional Hospital. Unfortunately, despite medical efforts, they succumbed to their injuries and passed away.
The bodies of the victims are currently at the Ezekiel Funeral Home, awaiting post-mortem examinations. As authorities continue their investigations, the community remains in mourning for the lives cut short in this tragic incident.
