A female passenger was killed and at least 15 persons were reportedly injured after a route 50 minibus
travelling towards Georgetown ran off the road in the vicinity of Number 42 village, West Coast Berbice, after one of its tyres burst.
According to information, the bus BNN 7615, which was filled with passengers, including an infant, suffered a blowout and veered sharply off the thoroughfare, turning over in the process.
The name of the dead woman was given as “Juliet” of Lovely Lass, West Coast Berbice. The surname of the driver of the bus was said to be “Porter,” also of West Coast Berbice. He was said to be the nephew of the dead woman.
The injured persons were rushed to the Fort Wellington Hospital. While the baby’s condition was listed as critical, the other occupants were conscious and stable. Four persons were transferred to the Georgetown Hospital while two remained at the Fort Wellington Hospital.
