Police are investigating an accident that claimed the life of a 34-year-old Port Mourant fisherman yesterday at about 16.50 hours after his vehicle ran into the Babu John access dam canal.
The deceased, identified as Mitchell Benn of Lot 203 Area ‘R’, Ankerville, Port Mourant, Corentyne, Berbice, was the owner and driver of a pickup – GRR 9936. Benn’s wife, Karel Woodruff, told the Sunday Stabroek that her husband was on his way to the waterfront to check on the tide to figure out when he could return to sea when the accident occurred.
