Two people are now dead after they were involved in an accident at Number 19 Village Corentyne, Berbice, on Sunday morning.
Thirty-nine-year-old Qualis Crawford and Shelliza London of West Canje, Berbice were both pronounced dead on arrival at the New Amsterdam Public Hospital. There were two other passengers in the car who sustained minor injuries.
Reports are that Crawford, who was the driver of the car, lost control and the car landed in a nearby trench.
Malissa April, Crawford’s wife, told reporters that she was notified of the accident around 03:00 hours on Sunday by one of Crawford’s friends. She said when she arrived at the hospital Crawford and London had already been pronounced dead. She further explained that at the scene, she observed a dead cow and some sand on the right side of the road. She surmised that her husband hit the sand and that caused the car to flip.
Crawford was described as a helpful and jovial person.
