By Mark DaCosta- The roads of our nation have once again run red as a devastating weekend of carnage claimed three lives in separate traffic incidents across different regions, exposing the persistent and alarming failure of the current administration to confront the scourge of reckless driving that continues to plague our streets.

The Guyana Police Force has confirmed that between Saturday evening and early Sunday morning, three Guyanese men — Gladwin Dorway, Kempton Forrester, and Kundal Persaud — met their untimely deaths in circumstances that underscore the tragic, untenable, and deeply alarming state of road safety in our country.

The first tragedy unfolded in the early hours of Sunday, July 12, at the junction of Camp and New Market Streets in Georgetown, where 39-year-old Gladwin Dorway of Plaisance, East Coast Demerara, lost his life in a multi-vehicle collision. According to the Guyana Police Force, a motor car bearing registration PNN 832, driven by a 28-year-old woman from South Cummingsburg, was travelling east along New Market Street when it allegedly failed to halt at a stop sign upon reaching the Camp Street intersection.
