A MINI-BUS driven by a police corporal on Friday night toppled on the Letter ‘T’ Public Road, Mahaicony, East Coast Demerara (ECD), resulting in one person being hospitalised.
Reports indicate that one of two male relatives he was transporting was admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital in a stable condition.

The person admitted is Gregory Halley, 33, of Zeskendren, Mahaicony, ECD, while the other was identified as Prince Harte,62, of Paradise, ECD. Police said that the officer and the other relative were treated for minor injuries at the Mahaicony Cottage Hospital and sent away.
A breathalyzer test was administered to the driver and no alcohol was detected on his breath.

The driver, according to police, alleged that about 20:30hrs, he was proceeding west along the road in mini-bus BRR 249, when he was suddenly blinded by a bright light of a vehicle proceeding in the opposite direction, forcing him to swerve farther south and in the process the vehicle toppled.
