September 12, 2016: Man dies, wife injured after car slams into truck
The Dundas family of Kuru-Kuru, on the Soesdyke/Linden Highway is now mourning the loss of a loved one after the car he was travelling in slammed into a truck that was reportedly seized from the Chinese company, BaiShanLin International Forest Development Inc., earlier that day.
According to sources, the incident occurred around 21:00hrs on Sunday night, just past Kuru-Kuru.
Dead is 41-year-old Carl Dundas, while his wife, 35-year-old Rona Dundas; and the 21-year-old driver, Nathan Heyligar, were rushed to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre. They were subsequently transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) for further treatment.
Rona Dundas suffered lacerations about her body and was discharged from the hospital yesterday. She told Kaieteur News that she and her husband, along with Heyligar and another female, whom she identified as Alana Barker, were in Yarrowkabra on the Highway participating in the Amerindian Heritage Celebrations when a call was made for them to return home.
The distraught woman continued that her husband and Heyligar were imbibing and she was concerned about their safety. Questions, she said, were asked about Heyligar’s ability to take them home safe. However, they departed for Kuru-Kuru after some deliberation.
Mrs. Dundas said that Heyligar began speeding on the highway. The woman said that she cautioned him twice but her warnings fell on deaf ears.
“Carl was in the front seat and I hear him say, ‘Look the truck’ and that is all I remember,” she said.
The injured driver told this publication that he tried his best to remember what exactly transpired; but all he can recall is slamming into the back of a truck – which he said, had no backlights.
