A 37-year-old Staff Sergeant of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) died on Thursday evening after he reportedly crashed into the back of a parked truck in the compound of Camp Stephenson at Timehri.

Omawale Sibdhannie, a resident of Mahaica, East Coast Demerara, who sustained mostly head injuries, was pronounced dead on arrival at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH).

When contacted yesterday afternoon, Traffic Chief Deon Moore told Stabroek News that the crash was not being treated as an accident since it did not occur on the public roads. “There was an incident but it is not being treated as an accident,” Moore said.
