FORTY-TWO-YEAR-OLD Dindiyal Parsram of Better Hope, East Coast Demerara is in critical condition at the Georgetown Public Hospital following his involvement in an accident on the Better Hope Line Top on Tuesday night.

Returning home from a wake, he was said to have been struck down by a speeding motor cycle, which hurled him through the air and caused him to land heavily on the roadway.

Parsram has still not regained consciousness since being hit. He has suffered a huge haematoma (swelling to the head) and a possible internal clot, which is bringing on regular attacks of seizures, and arrangements are being made for him to have a CT scan done soonest.

Because Parsram is known in the neighbourhood, he was taken to his relatives’ home early next morning, after being discovered at the roadside. His relatives took him to hospital, where doctors are working feverishly to hasten his recovery.
