THE two persons who were badly injured after a car ran into them, and also killed a mother of seven girls, along the Harmony Hall, Mahaicony public road last Saturday, have been discharged from the Georgetown Public Hospital.Alanca Cummings, 32, of 45 Zeskendren, Central Mahaicony and Ruth Percival, 26, of Perth Village, Mahaicony were both discharged on Tuesday afternoon from the GPH after doctors there determined that they were out of danger.
Sources at the hospital told this newspaper that Cummings was treated for a fractured pelvis and Percival was treated for a fractured hip.
Meanwhile, the driver who allegedly struck them down and fled the scene remains on the run, while another driver who was held on the night of the accident has been placed on station bail.
However, the Police Public Relations Officer yesterday said that a wanted bulletin has not yet been issued for driver Altab Bacchus of Cove and John, who reportedly fled the scene of the accident, leaving one woman dead and three others injured.
Eyewitnesses had said that Bacchus appeared at the time to be under the influence of alcohol. Earlier this week, he reportedly made contact with the police and indicated that he would turn himself in, accompanied by a lawyer, but he never did.
According to members of his family, Bacchus has apparently turned off his mobile phone and they have been unable to make contact with him.
Family members had also indicated to this publication that the man, when contacted just after the accident, had said that he was unaware that one person had died in the crash last Saturday evening.
The mother of seven, Irene Ramsey, was killed in the accident, while she and other friends were standing on the roadway at Mahaicony awaiting transportation home from a birthday party.
