A boy has been left hospitalized after he was hit by a speeding motorcycle on Saturday at Port Mourant, Corentyne.
“He geh knock hard and I turn around and watch he spin three times and knock he head,” Chandrowtie Somwal, the mother of the young boy, Eshwar Somwal, lamented yesterday at the Georgetown Hospital to Stabroek News. She explained that she was taking her 11-year-old son to #57 Village, around 2:10 PM, when a speeding, blue motorcycle overtook a tractor on the road and collided with the boy, knocking him out of her grasp.
“I de holding he hand and then it just come outta nowhere and he fling out me hand.
The bike man didn’t even stop and turn around. He just continue speeding down the road,” Somwal said, pointing out that while others witnessed the accident, no one attempted to chase behind the cyclist.
The boy was subsequently rushed to the Skeldon Health Centre from where he was transferred to the New Amsterdam Hospital and then to the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Somwal explained that her son had problems breathing initially as he had sustained injuries to his lungs, head and neck.
Eshwar is currently in the Intensive Care Unit at GPHC and is in a stable condition.
