Three persons sustained injuries about their bodies after a truck transporting lumber turned turtle in the vicinity of Goat Farm, along the Kwakwani to Linden trail in Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice).
The two trucks after toppling on Sunday
Police reports indicate that motor lorry GSS 8971 was heading to Linden when the truck suffered a blowout on Sunday, thus resulting in the driver losing control. The truck subsequently toppled.
Those injured are the driver, 35-year-old Leon Adams; a porter, whose name is still unknown; and a “sawman” identified as Jermaine Loyden of Ituni.
The porter reportedly sustained a broken arm and dislocated shoulder. The injured men were taken to the Linden Hospital Complex where they were treated.
The porter remains a patient at the institution.
Meanwhile, also on Sunday, another truck transporting lumber toppled along the Kwakwani to Linden trail, in the vicinity of Bamboo area.
In that accident, all the occupants of the motor lorry escaped unharmed.
