AN accident at the junction of Thomas Lands and Vlissengen Road last Friday night has left a taxi driver warded at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) with a fractured neck.
Brian Jordan, 52, recalled that he was taking a passenger to Kitty when, as he was about to cross Irving Street to catch Vlissengen Road, another car “appeared out of nowhere, jumped the traffic light and rammed him off the road.”

Jordan was pulled from the wreckage by public-spirited persons who rushed him to the hospital, where it was determined that he had suffered a fractured neck and lacerations to the head.
The passenger in his car was also injured, but was treated and sent home. According to Jordan, the offending motorist claimed he was getting away from being robbed, hence the reason he was speeding. But Jordan is concerned that, to date, no police rank has as yet visited him in hospital to take a statement, even though the accident happened in close proximity to Kitty Police Station.
