A devastating two-vehicle collision on the Linden-Soesdyke Highway has claimed the lives of two young men. Deron Bobb and 51-year-old Wayne Clarke, both from Grove in East Bank Demerara, succumbed to their injuries after a car lost control and crashed into another vehicle.
The accident occurred along the Silver Hill Public Road on Sunday evening at approximately 18:30hrs. The driver of one of the vehicles, a 28-year-old man from Grove, allegedly lost control and veered onto the western lane, colliding with another motor car driven by a 22-year-old woman from Moblissa. Two juvenile passengers were also injured in the crash.
Emergency responders pronounced Bobb and Clarke dead at the scene, while the driver of the other vehicle sustained serious injuries and remains hospitalized in critical condition. The occupants of both vehicles received medical attention for their injuries.
The Government is reviewing its approach to curb reckless driving on the country’s roads, with tougher penalties being considered. Meanwhile, investigations are underway into a separate incident involving the recovery of a suspected illegal firearm.
