Driver succumbs after Vryheid’s Lust accident

“We weren’t expecting it but it happened, that’s life,” Lakeram Seepersaud’s daughter said of her father’s death on Monday, when Stabroek News visited her Campbellville home.

Seepersaud had been involved in an accident on the Vryheid’s Lust public road on Thursday night that took the life of his friend businessman Ronald Bassoo. Fifty-six-year-old Seepersaud had suffered a broken left leg along with injuries to his neck and back. A relative had previously told this newspaper that he did not have any feeling in his lower body. Seepersaud breathed his last around 1.30 am at the Georgetown hospital. On Tuesday the man’s daughter told this newspaper that he was told about Bassoo’s death shortly before he died but she doubts that that contributed to his demise.
