1 critical, 2 others injured in separate accidents
One man is listed as critical while his wife and another walked away with minor injuries, following two separate accidents within the vicinity of the Linden/Soesdyke Highway.
The mangled car which was driven by the St Cuthbert’s resident, Deon Daniels
Reports are that in the wee hours of Monday morning, a car driven by a St Cuthbert’s Mission resident slammed into a parked truck along the Linden/Soesdyke Highway, in proximity to the Splashmins Resort.
This was after bright lights emanating from a vehicle proceeding in the opposite direction impaired the vision of the driver, causing him to lose control of his motorcar.
The toppled lumber truck on the Mabura Trail
The driver, who was identified as Deon Daniels, was pulled from the mangled vehicle and rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Guyana Times was told that Daniels suffered a broken shoulder and leg, among other injuries and as such remains hospitalised in a critical condition.
Meanwhile, his wife who was also in the car, sustained minor injuries.
Just hours later on Tuesday morning, a truck carrying lumber turned over on the Mabura Trail, Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice), also within the environs of the Linden/Soesdyke Highway.
Similar to the first accident, this accident stemmed from the driver’s vision being impaired, resulting in the man being unable to see the deteriorated roadway ahead.
Eyewitnesses present at the scene complained of the deplorable trail which is the main access road in and out of Mabura.
This, they posited, was the cause of the accident, which could have led to the death of the driver, or others present at the accident site.
Nevertheless, the truck driver managed to escape with only minor injuries.
