A 20-year-old Venezuelan woman was killed in a horrific accident on the Stewartville Public Road, West Coast Demerara on Monday when the car she was in slammed into a GPL post before landing in a nearby trench.
Dead is Alejandra Brazon. The accident occurred at around 14:30hrs on Monday, June 21, 2021.
The Guyana Police Force, in a statement, said the car (PRR 2014) was driven by 33-year-old Anthony Ralph, a resident of Buxton, East Coast Demerara, at the time of the accident.
