According to the Guyana Police Force’s (GPF) Corporate Communications Unit (CCU), motorcar PKK 2362 was involved in the accident, but the driver’s identity is unknown.
Reports are that Mahadeo was seated in the left front passenger seat while another passenger Komal Rewtie, 19, of Bee Hive seated in the rear passenger seat.
It was disclosed that the car was proceeding east along the northern carriageway of Le Ressouvenir Public Road at a fast rate of speed when the driver lost control of the vehicle.
