Cop flung off ATV regains consciousness

The police constable who underwent surgery after suffering severe head injuries after he was thrown off an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) has regained consciousness.
This is according to Commander of Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni), Senior Superintendent Linden Lord, who told Guyana Times that the rank has been transferred from the High Dependency Unit (HDU) at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) to a “recovery” room.
He noted that at present, Constable Harris, who is attached to the Bartica Police Station, has been prevented from having any visitors except medical staff aiding in his treatment.
On Monday the Constable underwent emergency surgery to aid in reducing the swelling of his brain.
It was reported that on February 12, the now injured policeman along with another Police Constable were pillion riders on an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) driven by a Detective Corporal and were responding to a shooting incident.
However, as the vehicle was proceeding along the Takatu Trail, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni), at a fast rate of speed, the driver swerved to avoid a ‘pothole’ thus causing Harris to fall off the vehicle and land on the ground.
He would have received injuries about his body and was taken to the Bartica Regional Hospital in an unconscious state.
Upon examination of the injured cop, the doctor immediately admitted the man at the hospital for emergency treatment, but hours later he had to be transferred to the GPHC for advanced medical care. He is expected to be discharged shortly.
