After the accident, John was rushed to the Linden Hospital Complex (LHC) in an unconscious state with severe injuries to his head and body. Solomon sustained injuries to her left hand and body.
It was reported that John was driving a motor pick-up on the Rockstone Trail when he lost control of the vehicle while negotiating a turn. As a result, the vehicle toppled several times before coming to a halt.
John and Solomon were pulled from the wreckage and taken to the LHC, where they were both admitted.
However, owing to the severity of John’s condition, he was transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital.
