Five persons are being treated at the Suddie Public Hospital for various injuries they sustained after a speeding car collided with several other vehicles on Friday in the vicinity of H&J Supermarket and Sons Enterprise at Johanna Cecelia, Essequibo Coast, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam).
According to information received, the white Mazda Axela, PRR 4866, being driven by Gordon Williams, also known as ‘Monkey Harry’, was heading to Perseverance when it collided with a motor car that was turning into a gas station at the time.
The Axela then crashed into three other vehicles that were parked in the parking lot of the supermarket, then spun several times before coming to a stop on the road.
The injured persons were pulled from the wreckage by public-spirited citizens and taken to the Suddie Public Hospital, where they were treated and admitted as patients. The driver of the motorcar has been detained as investigations continue.
