A MINIBUS and a Toyota Raum collided on Main Street Georgetown yesterday afternoon, with the bus ending up on its side, leaving several passengers injured.
An eyewitness from the Guyana Authority Security told this newspaper that about 14:20hrs she saw Route 44 minibus travelling along the street by the New Thriving Restaurant when it collided with a Toyota Raum coming out of Bentick Street.
The bus ended up in a drain and the security guard saw a woman holding a baby coming out of it.
According to the driver of the Toyota, who suffered no injuries, the bus crashed into him: “When I looked down to my side I saw the bus hit the front of a car parked across the street and then he hit the rear mirror of another car and then he hit me.”
However, the front seat passenger of the minibus claimed that he was on his way to work when he felt the car hit the rear end side of the bus. The man who was admitted at the Georgetown Public Hospital said “the gold colour car hit the back of the bus, and we swerve out because that man was turning the corner and he hit we.”
Meanwhile, passengers were seen squeezing through the bus windows, some bleeding from apparently minor injuries.
