POLICEMAN David Lindo, who crashed his vehicle into a section of the Demerara Harbour Bridge (DHB) on January 29, 2014, caused over $200,000 in damage to the compromised section.“The police are currently conducting an internal investigation into the matter,” the Harbour Bridge management said in a statement on Monday, almost one month after Lindo had slammed into a section of the structure. He had also tossed Bridge Manager, Rawlston Adams’s cellular phone into the river.
According to Adams, the incident occurred around 11:40pm. “The officer’s vehicle collided with the bridge rails at Span 45, which damaged two cable trays and a diamond panel member,” he said.
The company said the total cost for repairing the compromised section amounted to $233,703.
As for Adams’s cell phone, the company said the item has since been replaced.
