AMANDA REID, owner of the house at Public Road, Agricola, Greater Georgetown, the fence and stairway of which had been damaged last Sunday, claims that it doesn’t seem as though she would be compensated for her damaged property. The mother of the driver of PNN 8738, the vehicle that was involved in the accident, contacted Reid and made it known to her that they are very poor people who cannot, at the moment, afford to compensate Reid for her losses.
Nevertheless, Reid was taken to the police station again yesterday, where an estimate was made.
Reid, who resides at the property with her family, had told this publication at the time of the incident that her six-year-old daughter has barely missed being injured, as the child was standing at the “landing” of the house moments before the car careened off the road and crashed into the stairway.
Reid had stated that moments after the child had walked into the house, she heard a loud noise and thought  it was a collision or some sort of explosion which had  shaken the house.
The woman stated that the child went back outside on the landing to see what had happened, and then said, “Mommy, come see! A car knock down we step!”
Rushing outside, she saw that a car had broken through her fence and was at the foot of her stairway, and she saw a female occupant exiting the vehicle.
The structure of the stairway was not extensively damaged; however, the woman claimed, one cannot walk at a normal pace on the steps because it’s very “rickety”, as a result of the car knocking out the rails.

The vehicle was damaged, but no one was killed or badly injured.
Both occupants of the vehicle were in custody at the Ruimveldt Police Station at the time of this compilation, and were therefore unavailable for comment.
