An investigation has been launched into a collision involving a fire tender and a motor vehicle attached to the Housing Ministry at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD), on Saturday.

Enquiries disclosed that a 50-year-old leading fireman attached to the Guyana Fire Service (GFS) was driving the fire tender at the time, and as he attempted to exit a gate from the eastern side of the tarmac, the fire tender came into contact with a portable light pole, which then struck the stationary motor vehicle that was parked on the tarmac.

As a result, the motor vehicle sustained damage to the right-side driver’s door and fender.
