A PREGNANT mother of five children, the oldest being 12 years old, is now a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital following an accident at Goedverwagting, East Coast Demerara last Friday in which four cars were damaged.

The 33-year-old woman, Yvonne Edwards, of Melanie Damishana, East Coast Demerara, said that she was approaching her workplace at Qualfon on the Rupert Craig Highway, ECD, and was in the parking lot in front of the building when the driver of motorcar PKK 7981 who was proceeding at a fast rate in a westerly direction lost control and crashed into two cars in the parking lot, and one of the vehicles pinned her to another parked car, causing her extensive injury to her hip.
Edwards who is expected to deliver her sixth child within the next three weeks said that she was advised by doctors treating her that the fetus is unhurt but she will be unable to have a normal delivery because of the injury. As a result doctors will deliver the baby via caesarian section when the fetus is full term and then they will perform additional surgery to correct the damage to her hip.
The driver of the car, Pastor Desmond Crandon of Belfield, ECD, was arrested and placed on bail pending the institution of charges.
