10-month-old Zainab dies in Sophia accident.

Police are investigating a Fatal accident that occurred at about 14:20 hrs Wednesday on Dennis Street Sophia, Georgetown, in the vicinity of the Juvenile Holding Center.

The accident involved motor car No HC 8812, driven by Keyimo Roopnarine, a 28-year-old ‘A’ Field Sophia and motor car # PYY 7263, owned and driven by Khary Boyer, a 26-year-old Sixth Street Cummings Lodge, Georgetown.

Enquiries disclosed that motor car PYY 7263 was proceeding West along the Southern Drive Lane of Dennis Street at a fast rate of speed with three (3) occupants: Boyer-Singh, age 32 years, and Zainab Boyer, a 10-month-old baby girl, were seated in the front left passenger seat of the vehicle, while Raeanne Boyer, age 5, was seated in the rear passenger seat of the vehicle.

As the motor car was in the vicinity of the Juvenile Holding Center, the said driver lost control of the vehicle which then swerved right and ended up on the northern drive lane into the path of motor car # HC 8812, which was proceeding East along the northern drive lane. This resulted in a head-on collision where both vehicles were extensively damaged.

Both drivers and all three occupants inside motor car PYY 7263  received injuries on their bodies. They were assisted by public-spirited persons who transported them to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where they were seen and examined by doctors on duty.

Unfortunately, little Zainab Boyer succumbed to her injuries while receiving treatment. Her body is at the Georgetown Public Hospital’s Mortuary awaiting a Post-Mortem Examination.

Investigations are ongoing.
