Police officer injured after motorcar turns turtle
A police officer is now injured after reportedly the motorcar he was driving turned turtle along the Coldingen Public Road, East Coast Demerara (ECD) on Sunday.
Injured is Iam Roberts, known as ‘Waddy’, of Mahaica, ECD.
Eyewitnesses reported that the vehicle was heading from the East Coast to Georgetown, when it suddenly swerved abruptly, skidding on the roadway. The force of the impact caused the vehicle to turn turtle and landed with its four wheels in the air.
The officer was pulled from the vehicle by public-spirited citizens.
Police ranks responded swiftly to the scene, extracting the injured officer from the wreckage.
He was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he is currently receiving treatment. The Guyana Police Force has not yet released a statement regarding the accident.
However, Guyana Times understands that the officer hosted a ‘dance’ in Mahaica on Saturday evening which ended early Sunday morning. It is alleged that just after the party, he left for work in Georgetown.
