1 injured after ambulance slams into utility pole

A blood donor attendant attached to the West Demerara Regional Hospital (WDRH) was injured after the ambulance she was travelling in slammed into a utility pole at Lamaha Street, Georgetown, on Tuesday.
The injured woman is Candika Daniels, 24, of West Minster, West Bank Demerara (WBD).
Based on reports received, the ambulance which was driven by 32-year-old Dellon Daniels of Plantain Walk, Vreed-en-Hoop, WBD, was along Lamaha Street with its siren wailing and beacon lights on.
However, as the vehicle approached the traffic light at Irvin Street, Queenstown, the driver observed vehicles approaching in the opposite direction.
As such, the driver swerved in an attempt of getting into another lane and in the process of doing so, he lost control of the ambulance and slammed into a utility pole.
As a result, the blood donor attendant received injuries and was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where she was treated and sent away.
An investigation has been launched into the accident. Investigation in progress.
