Police are probing a report of a fatal incident which occurred on Friday last on the Mabura Trail, in the vicinity of Marian Hill, Upper Demerara River.
The fatal incident involved a Motor Pickup #PRR 4027 driven at the time by Kenrick Brathwaite, a 28-year-old of Mocha. Other occupants in the vehicle at the time were Winton Daniels, a 28-year-old of Mocha Housing Scheme; Keswin Howes, a 23-year-old of Providence, EBD; Robin McKenzie, a 29-year-old of Robb Street, Bourda; Kevin James, a 29-year-old of Robb Street, Bourda; and Abdul Straker, a 28-year-old of Robb Street, Bourda (now Deceased).
Enquiries disclosed that the motor pickup was proceeding south along the eastern side of the Mabura trail at a fast rate, and whilst negotiating a bend, the driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle. The pickup turned ‘turtle’ and came to a halt on the eastern side of the trail. As a result, the driver and the five occupants received injuries and were picked up in a conscious condition by public-spirited citizens and taken to the Linden Hospital Complex, where Abdul Straker died while receiving medical attention.
The driver and the four other occupants were treated and admitted to the hospital. Investigation in progress.
