An 18-year old police recruit was last evening rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) in an unconscious state following a vehicular accident on the Hope Public Road on the East Coast of Demerara (ECD).
Reports are that sometime after 6:30 last evening, Ryan Budhu of Nootenzuil, ECD was driving along the public road in the area when the accident occurred.
The lad’s father told Stabroek News at the GPH that his son was driving along the public road when his vehicle was hit by another. He said that persons in the area reported that two vehicles, one said to be a Toyota Alteeza motor car, were moving at a fast rate heading east along the ECD public road when one struck the vehicle Budhu was driving.
It was reported that the two vehicles were racing at the time when one hit Budhu’s car and the teenager’s vehicle reportedly spun around several times on the roadway before coming to a halt at the side of the road.
The injured man was rushed to the GPH in an unconscious state but according to his father, he was “doing ok”, adding that he had regained consciousness. He said that the vehicle’s air bag “is what save him” adding that the impact knocked out his son temporarily and he also noted that he suffered no broken bones while he was responding well to treatment.
The teen’s colleagues from the Guyana Police Force gathered at the GPH last evening to lend support to the family as hospital staff attended to his injuries.
