Dear Editor,

“Killed on the spot last night when a lumber truck attempting to avoid stray cows on the Bee Hive Public Road, East Coast Demerara, crashed into a route number 44 minibus transporting passengers from Georgetown en route to Mahaica.”

I am a villager that has been living in this village over a lot of years and what I saw there that night was nothing new. The road is not a safe place. The speed from vehicles affects one’s life a great deal. The straying animals are another big issue that affects everyone. That truck trying to avoid hitting the stray animals on the road crashed. …..
