[www.inewguyana.com] – Twenty – three – year old Mahindra Sugrim died at the West Demerara Regional Hospital (WDRH) on Wednesday evening (September 16) after a speeding Toyota Tacoma truck slammed into his car on the West Bank of Demerara.
iNews had reported that the driver of the Tacoma was allegedly racing with another truck when he crashed into a white car, before colliding head on with Sugrim, who was driving the Blue Toyota Avensis.
Sugrim’s car ended up in a nearby trench, where he remained pinned inside the vehicle, before being rescued by residents. iNews understands that the accident occurred at approximately 20:45 hrs and that Sugrim was heading to La Grange, West Bank Demerara, while the Tacoma was heading in the opposite direction.
His cousin, Vijay Sugrim told iNews that the now dead young man lived in Goed Fortuin, West Bank Demerara with his parents and younger sister. He was “spray painter”, Vijay said.
He further explained that his cousin was rushed to the WDRH, where he was conscious for a while, but could not speak; the young man sustained several broken limbs before dying at around 23:20 hrs.
iNews understands that two Toyota Tacoma trucks were racing towards Vreed-en-Hoop, West Coast Demerara from the direction of Wales, West Bank Demerara when one of them hit a car, lost control and slammed into another vehicle head on.
Eyewitnesses told iNews that the driver of the Tacoma was driving under the influence of alcohol as they “smelled” it on him.
