Almost one month after Temeca Kerr of Massy’s Distribution Limited had been seriously injured in a horrific accident along Brickdam in Georgetown, she succumbed to her injuries on Saturday.
The 30-year-old Kerr had reportedly been driving a car when she collided with a sand truck in the wee hours of February 25. At the time of that accident, Natoya Amanda Campbell and two others had been in the car, and Campbell had sustained severe head injuries. She remains hospitalised.
Dead: Temeca Kerr
It was reported that that accident occurred when a speeding sand truck collided with the vehicle that Kerr was driving as she manoeuvred her vehicle from Brickdam onto Camp Street. The impact of that accident had left both Kerr and Campbell with grievous head injuries and other serious wounds across their bodies. The other occupants of Kerr’s vehicle had sustained minor injuries.
The occupants of Kerr’s vehicle had been taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where the seriously injured Kerr and Campbell had been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Injured: Natoya Amanda Campbell
Sometime after that accident, Campbell had started to exhibit signs of progress. She had regained consciousness, and although still in serious condition, had eventually been transferred out of the ICU.
However, Kerr’s condition had necessitated that she be transferred to the National Infectious Diseases Hospital at Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara, where she had remained in critical condition, showing minimal signs of improvement despite the best efforts of medical staff. Tragically, her battle for survival came to an end on Saturday at about 3:00h without her regaining consciousness.
Guyana Times had been informed that the driver of the truck was arrested, but had subsequently been released on bail. As the circumstances of this tragic accident continue to be investigated, Kerr’s family members and friends have taken to social media to express their distress at her passing.
