Five persons sustained minor injuries yesterday morning after the condemned roof of the Stabroek Market wharf collapsed.
Vendors near the wharf told Stabroek News that they heard a loud cracking sound as the structure came down.
Rehanna Shaw, a fruit vendor related that around 10:30 am, she heard the terrific noise when the shed fell. She recalled that this was not the first time parts of the shed had fallen. She said that she had a stall on the wharf before the city council gave her a space in front of the fire service to vend. She hopes that the repairs can be done on the wharf as soon possible so she can resume vending there.
