Shawn Archibald, 10 and Renisha Benjamin, 8, were earlier this week discharged from the George-town Public Hospital (GPH), after spending more than two weeks after the Homestretch Avenue accident that claimed five lives.
Archibald had sustained severe head injuries, had to undergo two surgeries, and was placed on life support. When Stabroek News last visited the lad on Tuesday, he was up and about the Paediatric Ward of the GPH, excited to hear that he would be discharged the following day. His three-year-old sister Tatian Smith had been discharged on Sunday. Benjamin was discharged on Tuesday.
The three children along with several others were hospitalised following the accident, in which a route 48 minibus turned turtle after suffering a blowout. The driver of the bus has since been charged with multiple counts of causing of death by dangerous driving.
