Georgetown : A head on collision along the 35 Mile trail at Mabura, Region Ten claimed the lives of two persons today, Minister of Transport and Hydraulic Robeson Benn issued an appeal for motor vehicle operators to exercise caution by paying keen attention to the road, safety of their passengers and other road users when traversing.
The Minister expressed grave concern at reports about drivers exploiting the use of interior roads which have been much improved through the work of contractors attached to the Linden/Lethem road and others from the Public Works Ministry attached to the Linden/Kwakwani road.
Minister Benn was also concerned about the high accident rates along these routes in spite of the fact that the number of vehicles and passengers traversing is low compared to other roads in the country.
“For the number of passengers and number of vehicles travelling on that road it is extremely high and unsustainable,” Minister Benn said.
Meanwhile Minister of Local Government and Regional Development Norman Whittaker who was today in Linden engaging regional officials and officers and councillors of the Town Council visited the Mackenzie Hospital to check on the victims of the two-vehicle smash up on the Mabura Trail.
