According to reports reaching the Guyana Times, the accident occurred at about
The two vehicles after the collision on Friday evening
20:45h, as Jaigobin, of Herstelling, East Bank Demerara, was heading to Georgetown and had turned off the East Bank Highway (opposite Rent-A-Tent) into the western carriage. There, he lost control of his white motor car, PNN 8155, which then slammed into a utility pole in the middle of the road before ending up on the eastern carriage, hitting oncoming car PNN 8233 and bracing it into a nearby fence.
Jaigobin, the only occupant of his vehicle at the time, was removed from the wreaked vehicle by public-spirited persons and rushed to the hospital with head injuries. The driver of the other vehicle, Tito (only name given), remained on scene. He reportedly suffered minor injuries.
Tito told the Guyana Times that he was heading up the East Bank when the white car came out of nowhere and hit him off the road and into the nearby fence. He also was the lone occupant of his vehicle, which he recently bought, and collected only three days ago after redoing the exterior.
Meanwhile, a young man, Bacchus (only name given), related to this newspaper that he had just come off of work, and was riding on the road when the accident occurred. He said the vehicle “barely” missed him, as his bicycle was a few inches from where the cars ended up on the eastern side of the road.
“I just cross the road (from western to eastern carriageway) and then I hear the crash. When I turn, I see this (white) car just come over this side of the road straight into the other car, and paste the man up to the fence,” the young man related. He continued: “Jah went with me, ‘cause this car pass me by couple inches, or else I won’t be here talking… God went with me and with (Tito).”
The entire driver’s side of Jaigobin’s car, as well as the back, has been severely damaged. Up to press time, Guyana Times was unable to ascertain the medical condition of the sales representative. This newspaper was told that Jaigobin was heading to a city hangout spot where his company was having a promotion. His colleagues were also travelling to Georgetown, but were way behind his vehicle after he had reportedly “flown past” them.
