Man succumbs to injuries 2 days after Heroes Highway accident

Newton Bobb Fraser has succumbed to the injuries he sustained on Tuesday near Stage Pond, along the Heroes Highway, when a truck slammed into his red X-Trail vehicle and caused it to spin and crash into a pole, ultimately becoming totalled.

This accident occurred between 08:30hrs and 8:55hrs on Tuesday, March 8, when Fraser was driving north along the Heroes Highway. As he approached a section of the highway, where construction work was ongoing and cones were laid on the road, a truck that was coming behind his vehicle crashed into it, and the impact caused Fraser’s vehicle to spin rapidly and ultimately slam into a lamp post, suffering total destruction.
At time of the accident, Fraser suffered a broken pelvis, a damaged bladder, and extensive internal injuries which required the reconstruction of his pelvic area.
Despite medical efforts to administer blood, Fraser’s blood vessels had been ruptured, leading to significant blood loss, which ultimately contributed to his demise. Health officials reported that his body could not retain the blood being given to him.
Reports indicate that Fraser unexpectedly passed away on Thursday morning, when his body began to fail while he was being administered blood at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Family members of the 54-year-old Fraser have now been plunged into mourning at his unexpected demise. According to reports sent to the family, Fraser’s body could not retain the blood being administered because the blood vessels had been damaged.
