–Two still warded at GPH
AT least two of the six persons involved in the Friday night minibus/motor car “smash up” at Ruimzeight, West Coast Demerara remained warded yesterday at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH).Davenand Pooldass and Davekumar Singh were rushed to the GPH for treatment for the multiple injuries they suffered in that accident, which occurred on Friday after 20:00hrs. Other minibus passengers who sustained injuries were: the driver, Jomo Younge, 36, of Bagotstown, East Bank Demerara; conductress Tamara Johnson, 38; and another person, who was taken to a private hospital in the city.

Younge suffered a broken leg and a dislocated hip, while Johnson suffered a fractured leg and multiple abrasions. They are both warded at the GPH.

The two lone occupants of the motor car were: Wazim Khan, who suffered a broken left arm; and the driver of the vehicle, who is said to be in the High Dependency Unit of the GPH.

Khan has remained mum in relation to the accident, but minibus driver Jomo Younge recalled that he was proceeding to Parika when, in the vicinity of Ruimzeight, he spotted the approaching motor car attempting to overtake another minibus from a distance but being denied passage. Seeing the imminent danger, Younge said, he held his lane, and before he realised what was happening, the car had crashed head on into his minibus, resulting in injuries to several persons.

The police are investigating.
