Berbice man crashes car, lands in ditch after pig runs across road

A 23-year-old man of Alness Village, Corentyne, Berbice on Tuesday evening crashed the vehicle he was driving after a pig ran across the road.
The accident occurred about 18:00h along the Tain Public Road, Corentyne, Berbice.
Police said the car was proceeding west along the southern drive lane at a normal rate of speed when the driver, Clinton Mallay, alleged that a pig ran across the road.
The driver said he applied brakes, swerved north and lost control of his vehicle, which ended up in a trench.
Mallay was taken out of his vehicle in a conscious state by public-spirited citizens and escorted to Port Mourant Public Hospital, where he was seen by a doctor on duty and admitted for observation after complaining of chest pain.
His condition is regarded as stable. A breathalyser test conducted on the driver returned a reading of zero.
