– at North Road & New Garden St

ONE Sherwin (only name given) was driving a Toyota Carina 212, # PPP 8902, west along North Road in Bourda, Georgetown when a Toyota Allion, # PMM 5272, allegedly sped out of New Garden Street and crashed into his vehicle, sending it plunging into the eastern section of the canal at the approach to Shiv Chanderpaul Drive south of North Road, whilst the Allion ended up in the drain at the western side of Shiv Chanderpaul Drive.

Sherwin was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital for medical treatment, and is now an in-patient at that institution, whilst the driver of the Allion was being questioned by police who were summoned to the scene of the

accident.

Persons who were on the scene questioned why the relevant authorities do not either remove the bridge rails, which cause drivers not to see the North Road traffic clearly, or install a traffic light at that junction to regulate the smooth flow of traffic between Shiv Chanderpaul Drive, North Road and New Garden Street.(Asif Hakim)
