She was transferred from the Port Mourant Hospital where she was initially taken to the New Amsterdam late Friday evening. Her grandmother told the Guyana Chronicle that the injured child is responsive but is in a lot of pain.

According to police information, the driver of the car was proceeding east along the northern carriageway when he noticed the school child who was standing on the southern side of the road suddenly ran into the path of his vehicle, in an effort to avoid the collision with the child the driver swerved but struck her, he reportedly lost control of the vehicle and slammed into the two pedestrians who were walking on the parapet.

One of the girls fell onto a man who was riding a bicycle while the other was flung into the air, fell onto the car and then onto the road.
The injured girls were picked up and taken to the Port Mourant Hospital and subsequently transferred for further medical evaluation.

Meanwhile, speaking briefly with the Guyana Chronicle mother of the sisters, Bashwattie Ramrich, of Number 46 Village Corentyne Berbice was fighting to hold back tears as she confirmed the devastating news.
