Thirty-two-year-old Sandor Walcott continues to recover in the Georgetown Public Hospital after the ambulance he was driving collided with a truck on Thursday morning.
Walcott, from his bed yesterday, told this newspaper that he was going to Ogle airstrip to pick up a patient. He said that as he approached the traffic lights at Conversation Tree junction where a truck was waiting, “I turn the steering wheel and it turning but nothing else ain’t working”.
Walcott said the brakes were not working although he was mashing the pedal. But he said he was grateful that the truck he crashed into was not moving at the time of the collision.
Besides a broken right leg, Walcott also sustained a broken right arm, lacerations to his eye and nose and a dislocated toe. The attendant, who was in the vehicle with him at the time and was also injured, has since been discharged from the hospital.
