The three persons who were admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital following Sunday night’s two-car smash up at Conversation Tree on the Rupert Craig Highway are in stable conditions are being treated for their injuries.
In total seven persons, three in a car headed east and four in a car headed west, sustained injures when their vehicles collided at Conversation Tree.
Firefighters battled for over one hour to rescue Rajiv Bhookmohan from the metal clutches of the car he was trapped in.
Bhookmohan, Kenesha Lewis, and 17-year-old Roshana Smith sustained the brunt of the injuries.
Smith, who is scheduled to write the first of her Caribbean Secondary Education Certifi-cate (CSEC) examinations today sustained severe head injuries and a broken right leg. Lewis remains unconscious and is being monitored for multiple injuries. Bhookmohan also suffered multiple injuries to his body especially his upper torso.
Treated and discharged were driver of one of the cars, 31-year old Clevon James, Junior Norton, Andrew Wickam and another male.
Smith had explained to this newspaper that shortly after 10 pm on Sunday she accompanied her friend from Haslington, East Coast Demerara to purchase fast food in the city. She said that at Conversation Tree she felt an impact and knew that they had crashed, but she lost consciousness.
When she came to, she was being taken to the hospital in the back of a vehicle. “All I remember is feeling this blam!
But to say if I see any car or what happened I don’t know because I can’t remember anything about this accident,” she said.
She expressed concern that she might not be able to write her CSEC examinations. Today she had her leg cast in plaster of paris and was doing much better.
Driver Clevon James informed, as he sat in a wheelchair waiting to be treated, that he was travelling on the northern carriageway and attempted to turn south at the Conversation Tree intersection when a car heading west into Georgetown slammed into his side.
He said that public-spirited citizens went to his aid.
He was taken to the hospital by a couple who supported him as he limped because he was complaining that his left leg was paining excruciatingly. He was treated in the wee hours of the morning after X-ray and other examinations and was discharged.
