The release said that the seminar was in keeping with President David Granger’s call for a thorough assessment of how the recent fatal accident at Friendship, East Bank Demerara involving a police vehicle with siren and private car driven by a soldier occurred and how to prevent a recurrence. Five persons died in that crash.
