Driver on causing death charges after West Berbice crash

Devon Pydana, who drove a car filled with party-goers into two parked trucks along the Golden Grove Public Road, at West Coast Berbice, was remanded to prison yesterday after being charged with three counts of causing death by dangerous driving.

Pydana, 28, of Stanleytown, New Amsterdam, Berbice, was also charged with one count of refusing to undergo a breathalyser test when he was arraigned yesterday before Magistrate Rhondel Weaver at the Fort Wellington Magistrate’s Court.

He was not required to plea to the indictable charges of causing death by dangerous driving but pleaded not guilty to the breathalyser charge. He was remanded to prison by the magistrate, who adjourned the proceedings until April 15th.
