Three persons are currently patients at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) following an accident on Friday night at the recently-commissioned Eccles/Haags Bosch roundabout.
A police report stated that around 21:40 hours on Friday, a speeding car collided with the roundabout, causing extensive damage to the water fountain and other parts of it. The car, PAB 805, was driven by Troy Humphrey, a 27-year-old employee of the University of Guyana (UG) Library.
Investigations revealed that the car was speeding south on the Eccles to Mandela four-lane road and as the vehicle approached the intersection at the roundabout, Humphrey failed to execute the turn as the road markings indicated and drove into the roundabout. As a result of the collision, the water fountain and other parts of the roundabout, along with the vehicle, were extensively damaged.
