“He is unconscious” – aunt of teen battling for life

…Police looking for driver in hit-and-run accident

Police are searching for the driver of motor car PTT 1444, which late on Sunday night was involved in a serious accident at the intersection of Conversation Tree Road and the Rupert Craig Highway on the eastern outskirts of Georgetown.
That accident resulted in Rondell Robinson being critically injured, and he is now fighting for his life in hospital.
Reports are that the driver of PTT 1444 fled the scene following the accident, abandoning both his vehicle and Robinson, who was found in an unconscious condition trapped inside the silver-grey Toyota Carina 212 vehicle he was driving.
Rondell Robinson is an 18-year-old mechanic, a father of one, and a resident of Bachelors Adventure, East Coast Demerara.
Speaking with Guyana Times on Tuesday, his aunt Melissa Cush recounted that, at about 23:30h on Sunday, the family received a call informing that he was involved in an accident. She said that upon arriving at the scene, family members were informed that the driver of the car that had hit her nephew’s car had fled the scene.

“When his mother arrived at the scene, the car in which he (Robinson) was driving was there, and the other car was there…Reports are that a police vehicle that was on patrol passed and noticed the accident. When they checked, they saw my nephew was pinned in the car. However, with the help of citizens, they were able to get him out, and they took him to the hospital,” Cush related.
Cush said that evidence discovered in PTT 1444, such as empty rum bottles, suggested that the occupants may have been consuming alcohol. She also reported that her nephew sustained severe brain injuries and a broken arm, and had required immediate surgery. Robinson has remained unconscious since the accident.
“We don’t know what happened, and he is unconscious, so he can’t tell us anything. We want the driver of the other car to come forward and let us know what happened. We want answers…This young man (Robinson) had a family waiting for him at home. But instead of stopping to help, the driver treated him like a dog and ran away,” Cush said.

She has made an emotional appeal for anyone with information regarding the driver to come forward.
Meanwhile, the police are urging anyone with information regarding the driver or the accident to promptly contact them.
“He (Robinson) is most times in the interior with his mother. He has a two-month-old daughter and he came out for her christening, which was supposed to be on Monday. We don’t know where he was going at the time of the accident…” Cush added.
Friends and family members of Robinson are also appealing to the public for prayers for his recovery during this challenging period.
Police are continuing their investigations. (G9)
