Teen still not fully responsive after May hit-and-run accident

Bariel Hall at the Georgetown Public Hospital on Wednesday

A father is hopeful that his son can recover and become fully responsive from injuries that he received on the morning just over two months ago.

Bariel Hall, 18, has been a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital since being a victim of a road accident, which occurred of May 25th at the Avenue of the Republic, in the vicinity of the Route 44 (Plaisance) bus park, after attending a ‘J’ouvert’ which was hosted for the “Guyana Carnival.”

According to Bariel’s father, Barrington Hall, his son had left home on the 24th of May for work and did not return. The father, who was at his son’s bedside, told Stabroek News that he suspects that his son had left the house with a change of clothes in his bag and attended the J’ouvert event without his permission as he normally would not allow his son to be out of the house during late hours. “I go home the next morning and he didn’t come home… I start getting worried, I called his phone and no answer,” Hall said.
