Teenager hospitalised after being struck by motor car

Joshua Sookra, 15, of Richmond Housing Scheme, Essequibo Coast, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam), is hospitalised after he was struck down by a motor car on Saturday evening.
The accident occurred at Queenstown Public Road, Essequibo Coast.
Police investigations revealed that motor car PTT 2222 was proceeding along the Queenstown Public Road and suddenly made a right turn into a street. The driver alleged that it was then he saw the teenager who was riding a bicycle without lights.
He claimed that the cyclist rode into the path of the vehicle, and despite attempts to avoid a collision, the cyclist collided with the left side front of the car and fell onto the road’s surface where he received injuries about his body.
Police stated that the teenager was picked up and taken to the Suddie Public Hospital where he was treated and admitted a patient. The driver of the car was subsequently taken into custody.
More than two weeks ago, two young men were seriously injured following a motorcycle accident along the Essequibo Coast.
Those injured were Lakeram Singh of Affiance Village and Krishna Singh of Airy Hall. The two, both 22 years old, were admitted patients at the Suddie Hospital nursing injuries to their heads.
