Two drivers who were rushed to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre before subsequently being transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPHC) following a three-vehicle collision on the Friendship Public Road, East Bank Demerara on Saturday evening, remain in critical condition.
The wrecked Toyota Allion
The names of these two individuals have not been released to the media, but hospital officials have confirmed that they have sustained severe head injuries and lacerations to their bodies.
On that fateful Saturday, at about 18:30h, Toyota 4Runner PLL 7337 was reportedly heading to Timehri while Toyota Carina wagon PLL 2247, carrying several occupants, including a man with an artificial leg, was heading to the city at a fast rate, and reportedly came into contact with the rear wheel of the 4Runner, thus causing the driver thereof to lose control of that vehicle.
The result of that mishap was that the 4Runner reportedly spun several times before coming to a halt facing the opposite direction, while the wagon collided head-on with Toyota Allion PWW 6374.
Public-spirited citizens pulled the drivers of the two motor cars from the wreckage and rushed them to the Diamond medical facility; and at least three other persons who were injured were treated there and sent away.
Police are continuing their investigations into this accident, but the driver of the 4Runner has been detained.
