Cops still to obtain some victim statements for probe of fatal Nismes collision

The driver of the Route 31 minibus that was involved in the more than one-week-old accident at Nismes, West Bank Demerara Public Road, which left four persons dead and several others injured, has been released on station bail as the police continue their investigation.

Traffic Chief Linden Isles told Stabroek News yesterday that the police are yet to obtain statements from some victims and witnesses. Isles explained that there has been a delay in the investigation since three of the victims are still hospitalised and are not in any condition to provide the statements.

He said that once the statements are taken, the case file will be dispatched for legal advice, which will determine the way forward in the matter.
