According to reports, Wajid was heading to Georgetown in minibus BLL 285, when he lost control of the vehicle and slammed into a truck which was transporting paddy to East Berbice. It was a head- on collision and reports suggest that there were no other passengers at the time in the bus.

The incident occurred sometime after 08:00 hrs on Saturday. Residents say that the bus driver was speeding.
The mangled remains of the bus and a trail of gasoline on the road as well as dislodged parts from the truck and bus were strewn on the roadway.
Meanwhile, just a few yards away a pick-up toppled over before coming to a screeching stop after the driver lost control of the vehicle. He escaped with minor injuries.
