Driver of vehicle asks home owner “who is going to fix my car?”
Car crashing into Bagotstown house…
Robin Persaud, the driver of the burgundy motorcar, PJJ 6704 which flew through the air into Lot 35, Bagotstown, East Bank Demerara (EBD) is to attend court tomorrow.
He is still in police custody at the Providence Police Station.
Early Friday morning a family of three got the shock of their lives when a car smashed into the upper flat of their two-storey house. At the time four persons were in the vehicle.
A ladder that is being used in space of the inside step to gain access to the upper flat of the building, while in the background plywood is being used to cover the gaping hole made by the car in the wall.
Faizal Razack, who lives in the house, told this publication that relatives of the driver visited his home on the day of the accident and related that they would facilitate repair works that are needed for his house.
However, when Razack sourced a carpenter to assess the damages, an estimate of $1.3M was given to fully refurbish his home along with replacing the electrical appliances that were damaged.
Razack visited the driver of the car at the Providence Police Station and related what the carpenter had told him.
“The man said that instead of paying that amount which is like building over a new house, he rather go to court and pay a fine.”
The frustrated Razack said he then realized that the man was not going to assist in repairing his home. “This man ask me who is going to fix his car!”
Explaining that he used plyboards to block the gaping hole in his house, Razack said that the structure is now less secure and the building has been tilted since the force of the crash shifted the foundation columns of his brick and wooden house.
Adding that the internal step in his house was also damaged forcing him to use a ladder to gain access to the upper flat, Razack said all this discomfort was caused by the driver who appears unwilling to assist after learning the price of the damage that was done.
Last Friday morning’s dramatic occurrence resulted in pipelines being severed, a chain-link fence and one made of concrete damaged, and a wall of the concrete and wooden house being totally obliterated along with other items inside the home.
