MOTORCYCLIST Godfrey Gaim, 38, of Hadfield Street, Lodge, is stricken in the Georgetown Public Hospital with a fractured left knee, after being involved in an accident with a minibus on the Strathspey Line Top, East Coast Demerara on Easter Monday.

The accident happened around 11:30hrs on Monday as Gaim was heading up the Embankment Road. He recalled that he had the ‘right away’ and as he approached Strathspey, he spotted the minibus coming out of Strathspey Road at a fast rate and began honking his horn constantly.
However, the minibus driver failed to approach the junction with caution and made a rash entry onto the Embankment Road, causing a collision with the bike. On impact, the head lamp of the minibus struck Gaim on his left knee and flung him off his bike.
Public-spirited residents in the neighbourhood rushed to his assistance and called the GPHC for an ambulance. The injured man was rushed to the Accident and Emergency Unit of the GPHC, and an X-ray showed that he had suffered fractures to his left knee.
Gaim was taken to the theatre where he had steel implanted into his leg and he was admitted to the Male Surgical Ward.
