An eight-year-old boy from Supenaam Creek is now dead following an accident that occurred on the Good Hope Public Road, Essequibo Coast yesterday. According to reports, around 7 am yesterday, Andra Daniels allegedly ran into the path of a car bearing number plate HC 1292 that was proceeding south along the Public Road.
Daniels was picked up in an unconscious state and rushed to the Suddie Public Hospital where he was admitted to the ICU and later died.
