TWO septuagenarians were hit Tuesday, by speeding motorcycles in separate accidents on Essequibo Coast. One of them, Cedric Small, 73, of Dartmouth, was struck while walking along a street in his village.
Reports said the pensioner was hurled into a nearby drain and suffered injuries to his feet, shoulders and back.
Public-spirited persons rushed him to Charity Hospital where he was admitted a patient.
The other victim, 72-year-old Jabbar Mohamed, of Bounty Hall, was involved in a mishap on Better Hope Public Road. He was riding his bicycle at the time and his injuries were on both feet and other parts of his body.
Mohamed, too, is in Charity Hospital.
