Farmer hospitalised, 1 in custody after boat collision

Supenaam village farmer Lesley Moses is currently a patient at the Suddie Public Hospital on the Essequibo Coast in Region Two, nursing injuries he sustained to his chest and right leg following a boat collision that occurred at about 15:30h on Friday at Karabarow, Essequibo River.
The 51-year-old Moses was reportedly with four other farmers, travelling in his 12’ x 4’ boat which is propelled by a 15 hp engine, when another boat, captained by a female farmer of Wakenaam and proceeding at a fast rate, collided with his boat.
The collision caused everyone to be thrown overboard.
Following the collision, the female captain rescued the men, and Moses was rushed to the Suddie Hospital, where he was admitted. None of the other famers received any injury.
The female captain has been taken into Police custody as investigations continue.
