Sixteen-year-old Vishwanauth Doodnauth, who was hit down by a minibus in a hit-and-run just over a week ago at Mon Repos Public Road, has been discharged from the Georgetown Public Hospital and is at home recovering.
A police source confirmed Doodnauth’s discharge.
The driver of the minibus, who identified himself as Quincy Trotman, 37, of Dochfour Housing Scheme, East Cast Demerara, was released on bail as the investigation continues.
According to the preliminary investigation, Doodnauth, of Dr Miller Street, Triumph, East Coast Demerara and his younger brother were riding across the road on separate bicycles when the accident occurred.
The minibus was proceeding west along the southern carriageway.
The report said as the brothers were crossing, the minibus collided with Doodnauth. The impact resulted in him falling on the road and sustaining injuries about his body.
Subsequent to the collision, the minibus stopped a short distance away. While several persons exited the vehicle to render assistance, police said the driver sped away but later turned himself in the following day.
Public-spirited persons who were at the scene rushed to the teen’s assistance and transported him to the hospital, where he was initially admitted after it was determined he was suffering from intracranial haemorrhaging.
