Two men are dead after the vehicle in which they were travelling crashed into the fence of Yokohama Trading at Liliendaal last evening.
Dead is Dillon DeRamos, a married father of two and part owner of the Kosmos Grill & Lounge at Movietown at Turkeyen and Brian Eastman, a Senior Superintendent of the Guyana Police Force and Deputy Director of the Special Branch.
One eyewitness told this newspaper that DeRamos who was driving the Lexus GX 470 with registration number PTT 6775 lost control after he swerved to avoid another vehicle which had abruptly changed lanes.
The out-of-control vehicle careened through the fence of the car sales establishment.
The two men were reportedly trapped in the mangled vehicle for several minutes before the arrival of emergency services. On arriving, efforts were made to cut the two men out of the vehicle. DeRamos was removed first and pronounced dead at the scene with Eastman being removed about 35 minutes later.
Stabroek News understands that the men have been close friends since attending President’s College together and Eastman who graduated the University of Guyana in 2018 with a Commonwealth Masters in Public Administration had served as the night manager at Kosmos.
This newspaper understands that after graduating UG in 2016 and winning the Prime Minister’s Award for the best graduating student with a Degree in Public Management, Eastman pursued a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) at Nations University before moving on to the Masters in Public Administration.
He was unmarried and lived with his grandmother who died earlier yesterday.
