Eyewitnesses told this publication that the container truck was heading to Berbice while the route 44 minibuses were heading toward the city when the collision occurred.
Sources said while in the vicinity of a turn at Coldingen, the driver of the container truck is believed to have lost control and slammed into the minibuses. A resident of the village said that he was at the time tending to a customer at his nearby shop when he heard a loud “bang” and as he looked around he saw the truck crash into the front of the minibus.
The man said he immediately left what he was doing and went to render assistance. After the truck slammed into the oncoming minibus, another bus which was close behind the container truck crashed into it.
The driver of the truck has been taken into police custody. There are reports that the driver related to investigating ranks that his truck suffered mechanical problems.
