Cops injured after uncontrolled car crashes into them
L-R: Javon Thomas and Alden Reynolds
Police Corporal Alden Reynolds and Police Sergeant Javon Thomas were injured on Thursday after the driver of a speeding motorcar lost control of the vehicle and it crashed into them at Greater New Amsterdam, Berbice.
Based on reports received, the cops were reportedly walking towards a parked motorcar when the speeding vehicle, being driven by a resident of Glasgow New Housing Scheme, East Bank Berbice, crashed first into that car and then into them.
Eyewitnesses say the impact of the collision threw Sergeant Javon Thomas under the stationary car while Corporal Alden Reynolds was flung into a trench. Public-spirited citizens pulled Sergeant Thomas from under the damaged car, and they were both rushed to the New Amsterdam Hospital, where Reynolds underwent emergency surgery.
The car that was involved in the accident
The incident occurred in the presence of a doctor attached to the New Amsterdam Hospital; her husband is one of these Police officers. This doctor reportedly tended to Corporal Reynolds.
These two Police ranks were part of a domino team, and were at the time about to make their way to Mara, East Bank Berbice to compete.
