Five persons were taken to the Suddie Public Hospital nursing various bodily injuries following a two-vehicle smash-up on Monday along the Adventure Public Road, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam).
Based on reports received, the accident involved a Honda Vezel motorcar bearing registration number PAJ 684 and a Fielder Wagon, HD 5869.
It is believed that the accident occurred after one of the vehicles swerved from crashing into a parked excavator but instead, the Vezel slammed into a utility pole, while the Fielder Wagon crashed into a fence.
One resident in the area stated that at about 12:00h, he heard a loud crashing sound and rushed out to check. Upon doing so, he observed the two wrecked vehicles. Both vehicles were carrying a total of five persons including the two drivers.
They were taken to the Suddie Public Hospital where they were treated and admitted. The police have since launched an investigation into the smash-up.
