SEVERAL persons were yesterday morning rushed to the Leonora Cottage Hospital, from whence those listed as critical were transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital following a collision between a minibus escorting prisoners and a motorcar on the Ruimzeight Public Road, West Coast Demerara.

The accident, which reportedly occurred at around 06:15hrs, saw the motorcar (PPP 6731) try to overtake another vehicle and end up in the pathway of the minibus (BLL 6398)in which the prisoners were travelling.

One man who was on the scene when the Chronicle arrived said that all he saw was the bus coming at a fast rate, and a car trying to overtake another at the same time.

Efforts yesterday to corroborate the story with Guyana Prison Service officials proved futile, since they either said they were unaware of such an occurrence, or did not have the information we sought at hand.
