Police are investigating an incident that occurred about 08:10hrs this morning (Friday) on Jackson Creek Public Road, in Corentyne Berbice, which resulted in the death of Sahid Hamid, a 38-year-old businessman.
Hamid, who is from Rose Hall Town, was at the time ‘test driving’ a Pick-Up vehicle (PKK 915), owned by Wazir Deochand of Crabwood Creek Corentyne, Berbice, which he wanted to buy.
Initial investigations reveal that the pickup was proceeding south along the eastern side of the Jackson Creek Road, allegedly at a fast rate, when the driver lost control and ended up in a trench on the western side of the road.
He was taken to the Skeldon Public Hospital in an unconscious condition by police and public-spirited citizens, where he was pronounced dead by a doctor on duty.
Investigations continue.
