Mahendra Singh and his driver Police Constable Ellery Mason were injured after a speeding truck collided with their vehicle Wednesday morning, Police headquarters has said.
Police Headquarters reported that the accident occurred at about 06:15 hrs at the Friendship Public Road, East Bank Demerara (EBD).
The officers were travelling in a pickup (#PAC 5254) while 29-year-old Romel Benjamin, of Lovely Lass village, West Coast of Berbice, drove the truck (#GAE 38).
The truck was reportedly speeding north along the western side of Friendship Public Road while the Police vehicle, as part of a convoy on Presidential assignment, was proceeding in the opposite direction without flashlights and siren.
Police headquarters claimed that the truck started overtaking a line of traffic on the eastern side of the road and ended up into the path of the Police pickup. Then, the right side front of the truck collided with the right side front of the Police pickup vehicle.
Both vehicles received extensive damage.
Commander Singh and his driver received injuries, and they were both picked up by public-spirited citizens and taken to the Diamond Diagnostic Center.
The driver was seen and examined by a doctor on duty and was referred to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), where he was further seen and examined by a doctor on duty and admitted a patient suffering from a broken right leg and left wrist.
Commander Singh was also taken to the GPHC, where he was examined by a doctor on duty, treated and admitted a patient suffering from multiple abrasions about the body.
Meanwhile, a breathalyser test was conducted on the truck driver but no trace of alcohol was found in his system. He was served with a Notice of Intended Prosecution, and he is presently in custody assisting with the investigation.

The United States Government, through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), is partnering with the Guyana Ministry of Health to support Guyana’s public health infrastructure.
USAID’s Country Health Information Systems and Data Use (CHISU) Program, a flagship data and information system project of USAID’s Bureau for Global Health, is providing two global public health technical consultants to Guyana’s Ministry of Health for a one-year period. These advisors will be focusing on two key areas- addressing COVID-19 data management issues and enhancing the public health supply chain management system.
Mr. Emeka Ogbolu, a seasoned public health supply chain expert, is collaborating with the Ministry’s Materials Management Unit to strengthen the efficiency and effectiveness of the public health supply chain management system. In particular, Mr. Ogbolu is coordinating with the Unit’s Director in strengthening the operations and logistics of the central and regional warehouses. With extensive experience in supply chain logistics and management, Mr. Ogbolu is dedicated to supporting the Ministry’s vision for 2030 and aligning efforts to achieve public health objectives.
Mr. Yazabantu Soldati, a Health Information Systems Advisor from South Africa, is leading efforts to identify and implement solutions related to the collection, storage, and utilization of COVID-19 data. With more than 15 years of experience in information systems and data analytics, Mr. Soldati brings a wealth of expertise to support monitoring and evaluation and operations research of health programs.
Expressing support for this initiative, U.S. Ambassador to Guyana, Sarah-Ann Lynch said, “Through this strategic partnership, the United States Government, through USAID, is bolstering Guyana’s capacity to combat COVID-19 and optimize public health supply chain management, contributing to the country’s overall health resilience and progress toward a healthier future. We remain a committed and resolute partner with the Government and people of Guyana.” (US Embassy press release)
bid for oil blocks offshore Guyana.
Dr. Ali spoke about Guyana/ China relations in an interview with CGTN, a state-run news channel based in China’s capital, Beijing during his recent visit to the city.
During that interview, he noted that the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) is one Chinese company that has a stake in oil and gas production in the lucrative Stabroek Block offshore Guyana.
CNOOC is a coventurer in this block alongside Hess and ExxonMobil. Together, the three companies are producing oil from the area that already has proven resources of more than 11 billion barrels of oil.
President Ali said his government wants more Chinese companies involved in offshore oil production.
“… we have 14 blocks out there for auction.
“We’re hoping that more Chinese companies would also get involved in the auction of those 14 blocks,” he said.
The 14 oil blocks on auction are for shallow and deep water areas.
There will be separate requirements for qualification to participate in deepwater versus shallow water blocks, with a higher bar set for deepwater areas, which reflects the capital-intensive nature of deepwater exploration and production (E&P) and the highly specialised technical competence required for deepwater E&P activities
There will be a minimum signature bonus requirement of US$10 million for shallow water and US$20 million for deepwater blocks.
Aside from the oil blocks auction, the Guyanese Head of state noted that there are growing opportunities for natural gas production from those offshore oilfields.
Dr. Ali also hinted at the opportunity for Chinese companies to possibly help the government build the massive Amaila Falls hydropower project, stating that the authorities will soon issue a request for expressions of interest.
