Three Hospitalized After Serious Accident on Industry Public Road
Three men are currently hospitalized with serious injuries following a collision that occurred on the Industry Public Road, commonly known as the Number 19 Road, on Friday night.
The injured individuals have been identified as Ganesh Singh, 24, of Hope Bath Settlement, West Coast Berbice; Ronald Scott, 25, of Lot 4 Kildonan, Corentyne, Berbice; and Cloyd Davis, 26, of Lot 10 J. Limlair, Corentyne, Berbice.
Reports indicate that around 10:00 PM, motor car PAG 4678, driven by Scott with Davis as a passenger, was traveling east in the northern lane. Meanwhile, motor car PAB 7500, driven by Singh, was heading west in the southern lane. Singh reportedly lost control of his vehicle, colliding with the front right side of Scott’s car.
As a result of the impact, Scott’s vehicle was forced onto the northern side of the road, facing west, while Singh’s car ended up in a trench on the southern side.
Emergency services were called to the scene, including the police and Emergency Medical Technicians from the New Amsterdam Fire Station. They had to cut parts of Scott’s vehicle to extract him. He was transported to the New Amsterdam Public Hospital in an unconscious state, where he, along with the others, received medical treatment.
A breathalyzer test administered to Singh at the New Amsterdam Public Hospital indicated alcohol levels of 61 and 69 micrograms in his breath.
As of now, Singh is admitted to the Male Surgical Ward, while Scott is in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and is reported to be in stable condition. Davis was transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital for further medical attention on Saturday at approximately 6:30 AM.
Investigations into the accident are ongoing, and authorities are working to determine the circumstances surrounding the collision.
