Car flips after dropping into pothole, driver seriously injured
A 22-year-old resident of Hosororo Hill, Mabaruma, Region One (Barima-Waini), is now seriously injured after the car he was driving dropped into a pothole and flipped several times.
Injured is Shane Alberts, who is currently a patient at the Mabaruma Regional Hospital. The man reportedly suffered chest injuries as a result of the accident.
Reports are that Alberts was driving motor car PRR 6521 along the Mabaruma Settlement Public Road when the accident occurred at around 22:30h on Monday.
The driver told investigators that he was travelling at a fast rate of speed when the front-left car wheel went into a pothole. This caused him to lose control of the car, which turned turtle several times before coming to a stop.
Investigations are ongoing. (G9)
