Miner hospitalised after Bartica crash

A head-on collision on the Four Miles Public Road in Bartica, Region 7 over the weekend has left 22-year-old miner Conroy Cox of Lot 99 Third Avenue, Bartica nursing extensive head injuries and a broken foot in the High Dependency Unit of the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Cox reportedly was driving an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) with two other males as passengers, and was proceeding north along the Four Miles main road when he tried to negotiate a turn and ended up in the path of a land cruiser.
After the head-on collision, Cox was rushed to the Bartica Hospital, but had to be transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital because of the extent of his injuries.
The other two passengers of the ATV were treated at the Bartica Hospital for minor injuries.
