Two persons are now dead and another is battling for life at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) after a head-on collision involving a car and a truck at Coverden on the East Bank Demerara (EBD) around 09:45 hrs yesterday.
The dead persons have been identified as 49-year-old Roshini Dourga of Diamond, EBD, and her uncle, George Madhulall, 72. Madhulall, who resided in Canada, was here on vacation.
Dourga’s husband, Robert, 62, was also wounded in the accident. He is said to be in a critical condition at the GPHC.
Kaieteur News was told that Robert Dourga was the driver of the white Toyota Spacio that the trio was travelling in.
Circumstances surrounding the collision are sketchy, but this newspaper was told that it seemed as though one of the drivers fell asleep and ended up in the path of the oncoming traffic.
Nanda Persaud, the dead woman’s sister, could not say much of the accident.
She related that the trio was heading to a religious ceremony at Timehri, EBD, when tragedy struck.
The woman said that early yesterday someone informed her that one of her nephews was involved in an accident. However, upon further investigation, it was discovered that it was her sister who had been killed. When relatives rushed to the scene of the accident yesterday, they were informed that the woman had been taken to the hospital by police ranks. At this point they were not informed that she had died. It was when they reached at the Diamond hospital that they were told that both Roshini Dourga and George Madhulall had succumbed.
The driver of the truck is in police custody.
