A family is mourning the death of a one-year-old boy in an accident in West Coast Berbice (WCB). Karson Daniel Mayers from Mahaica has died.

At the time of the accident, the toddler was on his way home in a car with his parents Monique and Keshawn Mayers, his older brother Kristan and a godfather. The family had just returned from paying the installment on their car in Berbice.

According to the child’s grandmother, Wendy Richmond, the accident occurred at a bend in Britannia, WCB. Richmond told Stabroek News that according to what she heard, a truck overtook the family’s car on the bend, causing the car to be dragged along the truck for some distance on the right side.
