A Corentyne taxi driver and his friend are now dead after he lost control of his car during a street race and crashed into a paddy truck at Borlam Turn, Coren-tyne, in the wee hours of Tuesday morning.
Driver Latchman Sukhan, 20, of Lot 333 Ankerville, Port Mourant, Corentyne, and his friend, Yujisteer Puran, also known as ‘Danny’, 26, a security officer of Lot 50 Crawford Street, Rose Hall Town, Corentyne, were reportedly racing Sukhan’s older brother, Karan Sukhan, 22, who was in another car along the Corentyne Highway when the accident occurred.
Stabroek News was told that Sukhan lost control of his car, PSS 1682, as he rounded the Borlam Turn and skidded sideways into a paddy truck, GZZ 4440, which had stopped in the corner of the road in his lane after noticing the oncoming “sliding car.”
