THE Guyana Police Force continues to search for Altab Bacchus, who continues to be on the run following a fatal accident — earlier this month — that killed a mother of seven and injured three other persons.Police sources who wish to remain anonymous have said that Bacchus might have skipped the country, but that theory has not been confirmed, since there is no official record to support such claims.

Police Traffic Chief Dion Moore explained yesterday that Bacchus remains on the run, although he had indicated that he was going to hand himself over to the police following the incident.

The police are convinced that the man had been ‘drink-driving’ at the time of the accident. They are basing their assumption on eyewitness accounts of what had transpired during that fatal accident.

The three persons who survived the accident have all been discharged from hospital, and are said to be recovering well. Two of the three are still receiving medical care through clinics, as recommended by the doctors who had looked at them during their admission following the accident.

On the night of the accident, two vehicles collided while one was trying to negotiate an uneven spot on a bridge while the other had suffered a blowout. The other driver was held by the police following the accident; and after the reportedly errant driver, Altab Bacchus, had failed to show up at the station, the driver of the other vehicle was released on station bail.

The police are continuing their investigation into the matter, and are asking members of the public to contact them should they have any information relative to the whereabouts of Altab Bacchus.
