A POPULAR music teacher, Darrell Levans, is hospitalised following an accident at Mahaicony , East Coast Demerara on Sunday.
Levans, 37, a father of four who provides piano lessons via house calls and at a music school on Regent Road, was picked-up along the Mahaicony Public Road last Sunday night after he was reportedly struck down. The man was riding his motorcycle, a Honda Twister bearing registration CG 629, at the time.

He was rushed to the Mahaicony Hospital and was discharged after doctors there told the family he only sustained a broken left arm. However, while not being satisfied with the treatment he received, he was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) on Monday where a CT scan was done on his brain. Doctors reported that the man was experiencing swelling in his brain. He has since been admitted a patient in critical but stable condition.

The man’s common-law wife Asheeka Lee told the Guyana Chronicle that the reports surrounding the incident seem suspicious. She said that Levans left for Mahaicony in the company of his friends on Sunday afternoon. Later, his friends decided to travel further up to Berbice while he decided to travel back to Georgetown alone.

His wife noted that based on reports received, he was involved in an accident while heading back to the city. She said a woman called the family several hours later, around 23:00hrs on Sunday night, and informed them that Levans was picked-up along the roadway and taken to the Mahaicony hospital.
She said the situation became worrisome after the family asked for her husband’s belongings including his coat, the motorcycle and his wallet. She said only his wallet was given to the family, minus the $20,000 cash Levans had on his person.

Interestingly, Lee said the woman who called the family later informed that a policeman whom she named as “Patterson” has the motorcycle and the family must pay a sum of money in order to have the bike returned. However, the family was later told that the motorcycle was at the Cove and John Police Station. “It’s kind of hard to think right now,” Lee said.

Levans cannot recount what transpired and according to his wife, he appears delirious. She said that the family made contact with the Mahaicony Police Station but ranks there said they knew nothing about the incident. The family plans to visit the police station on Wednesday as they come to grips with the hospitalisation of the music teacher.
