– Three others critical

Up to press time late last night, members attached to the Full Gospel Fellowship Church were mourning the loss of their pastor’s son by way of accident.
Dead is Cliffon Orande Marks, 22, of Mahdia.

Several church members gathered at the hospital yesterday afternoon.

According to reports, Marks was part of a group that was involved in a collision between a Tapir vehicle in which they were travelling and a lorry on the Soesdyke Highway yesterday. Relatives, including the young man’s father, refused to divulge any information about the accident.
Three other persons were up to press time nursing serious injuries. Hospital sources told Kaieteur News that Fabian Williams, Adlenne Simpson and Kishana Singh were all in critical condition. This newspaper was told that they were transferred to the Georgetown Hospital. Sources said that all three of the patients suffered serious head injuries and doctors ordered that scans be done.
Kaieteur News was told that the group was on their way to a crusade at Bellvue, West Coast Demerara.  The driver of the Tapir is one of two persons in a critical condition.
The driver of the lorry reportedly told investigators that as he was climbing the hill at One Mile, Soesdyke, the Tapir veered into his path.
