Chandramala Singh, a 19-year-old girl of Novar Mahaicony, East Coast Demerara, died on Tuesday night when she lost control of the vehicle she was driving.
Police said the accident occurred around 20:15 hrs along the Content Public Road at Mahaicony.
Singh was at the time driving motorcar #PVV 3507 east along the road at a fast rate of speed, police said.
While negotiating a left turn, she suddenly lost control of the vehicle and collided with an erected signboard which is owned by the Ministry of Public Works; she further collided into a utility pole.
The young lady was taken out of the vehicle by public-spirited citizens and rushed to Mahaicony Public Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
The body is presently lying at the Anthony’s Funeral Home at Fort Wellington, West Coast Berbice awaiting an autopsy.
What a waste of a beautiful and promising young life……but isn’t that the case when all young people die in road crashes? 3 of them in 2 days ….all young, all full of promise and all dead. RIP
