Angry residents in Hopetown, West Coast Berbice last evening torched a Mazda RX8 car on the main public road after it was involved in a crash that resulted in two members of the community being seriously injured.
Commander of Region Five Kurleigh Simon told Stabroek News last evening that while the car was burning on the roadway, traffic was being diverted through alternate routes so as to ensure a free flow.
According to information gathered, the son of a businessman who operates a grocery store and auto sales in Bush Lot Village, West Coast Berbice, was proceeding along the Hopetown Public Road late yesterday afternoon when he allegedly struck two residents who were reportedly on an electric scooter.
