SIXTY-year-old Davendra Ram, a security guard employed with AH & L Kissoon, East Bank Demerara, is now warded at the Georgetown Public Hospital, suffering fractures to his left leg and arm and injuries to his head, after being involved in an accident on the La Grange, West Bank Demerara Public Road on Tuesday.Ram, who lives at Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara, recalled that shortly after 19:00 hrs, he was returning home, and as he was turning off the La Grange main road, into Independence Street he was struck by a motor car which hurled him through the air, causing him to land dangerously on the roadway.

The motorist, who struck him, got out of his vehicle, placed him into his car and dropped him off at the West Demerara Regional Hospital.

At the hospital, he was stabilised before being transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital.

The injured man’s daughter, Bashwantie, who was still inconsolable at his bedside Wednesday, recalled that shortly after 20:00 hrs, on Tuesday night she received a message from a nurse at the West Demerara Regional Hospital informing her that her father had been involved in an accident and that family members should come down to the hospital.

The woman said when they arrived at the hospital they could hardly recognise him. He was transferred to GPHC where he was treated and admitted to the Male Surgical Ward. When seen by this newspaper, Ram seemed to be experiencing excruciating pains in the head.

Relatives said that the motorist who caused the accident has since been arrested by the Vreed-en-Hoop Police.
