Porter dies after garbage truck crashes into trench
A porter died on Saturday morning at Cullen, Essequibo Coast, after the garbage truck he was in crashed into a trench.
The porter has not yet been identified.
At about 05:30 hrs, the porter alongside a labourer, a checker and the truck’s driver were at Cullen collecting garbage.
The News Room understands that the driver attempted to slow down before approaching the trench but he was unable to do. As such, the truck crashed into the trench that is filled with mud.
While the others managed to escape, the porter was trapped inside the vehicle.
Those who survived are at the Anna Regina Police Station assisting with the investigation.
