– at Walton Hall public road

THREE persons narrowly escaped death Wednesday morning after a truck crashed into a car and a Canter lorry on the Walton Hall public road.According to reports, the truck and car were negotiating a sharp turn in the road when the accident occurred. Reports said that after the truck hit the car the driver lost control and slammed into a Canter lorry that was approaching the sharp turn from a southerly direction.
Guyana Chronicle was told that the passengers in the car, Seeram Polastraj and his son Eon, along with the driver, known as “Gibbs”, were rushed to the Suddie hospital. The father and son were treated for cuts and bruises and sent home but the driver who suffered serious injuries to his head and face was admitted and put under observation.
A workman, Denroy Reid, who was sitting in the front seat of the Canter lorry said after the truck hit the car it sped on towards their vehicle and all he and the driver could have done were to sit still and await the impact. However, the truck, as if by God’s hands, hit the front of the Canter lorry and stopped, and they were not injured. Reid said that he is a Christian and prays sincerely three times a day to God. In the meantime, police are investigating.
