Fifty-eight-year-old Lennox Clementson, a passenger in the minibus that was involved in the collision that claimed the lives of three in the vicinity of the Ruimveldt police station on January 8, succumbed to his injuries on Sunday night.
Clementson is now the fourth person to have died as a result of the collision. Pream Seecharan, who was the driver of the speeding car which slammed into the minibus, also succumbed on Sunday morning. Fifty-four-year-old Rawle Mc Kenzie, who was the driver of the minibus, and his wife 51-year-old Sarah Wilson died on the day of the accident.
Gale Serieux, Clementson’s sister, told Stabroek News yesterday that he was hospitalised in a critical condition since the accident occurred. Clementson suffered severe brain damage, a fractured neck, broken legs, a damaged spinal cord and broken arms. Serieux added that Clementson’s condition worsened for the two weeks he was in hospital. At the time of the accident Clementson, a contractor, was heading to work since he was trying to avoid the traffic congestion.
