Three Guyanese were tragically killed yesterday afternoon after their Honda CRV flipped into a canal in Nickerie, Suriname.
A woman who was with them is said to be receiving medical attention.
While no names were officially released as of late last evening, Surinamese police are saying that from indications four persons were in the Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV), bearing number plates PKK 7256, and which crossed some time in the morning on the Canawaima ferry.
Unconfirmed reports said that survivor’s name was given as Vilma Lynch who had gone there with her daughter Charlene Lynch and two other close relatives.
The vehicle was heading to the capital, Paramaribo.
Two women and a man were reportedly killed while the middle-aged woman was admitted to the Lachmipersad Mungra regional hospital, Police commander, Stanley Benschop, told reporters.
The blue SUV apparently lost control and eyewitness recounted seeing it careening from one side of the road to the other.
It is still unknown whether one of its wheels blew out.
The accident is said to have happened about 192 kilometers from Paramaribo.
The police commander could not immediately confirm reports that a child was in the car as the female survivor remained in a state of shock.
The police were reportedly making checks with the Immigration Department at Nickerie to determine whether a fifth person was in the vehicle.
It is believed that the occupants died by drowning and rescuers searched for some time in the water in the farming community.
The police believed that it is a family.
