Five-year-old Linden accident victim succumbs

Oct 21, 2009 News

Five-year-old Akeem Hinds succumbed yesterday morning at the Georgetown Public Hospital Intensive Care Unit. He never regained consciousness after the motor car accident last Friday on the Soesdyke/Linden Highway near Bamia.
At the time of the accident, Hinds and six other family members were returning from another relative’s funeral in Georgetown.
His mother, Latoya Hinds, was inconsolable when she went to identify the body at the Georgetown Hospital Mortuary, yesterday.
The child’s grandmother collapsed after hearing the dreadful news and had to be hospitalised. Up to press time she was in the Accident and Emergency Unit of the hospital.
The child’s mother had told this newspaper on Sunday that doctors had told them to prepare for the worse since the lad had suffered severe head injuries.
“The doctors had told us that we should prepare for the worse since Akeem suffered head injuries.
They even explained that it was the machines keeping him alive”.
She also said that doctors even said that even if the child had survived he would have been mentally incapable of doing normal things.
On Friday last, the young child and six other family members were in a motorcar when it careened off the Soesdyke/Linden Highway near Bamia.
The child’s uncle 61-year-old, Aubrey Barrington Yaw, of 79 First Alley, Wismar, also died. He sustained multiple injuries after being pinned in the vehicle.
Also injured are the dead man’s wife, 39-year-old Colette Yaw; the driver, Wendell Yaw, and his wife, Paulette Yaw.
A third brother, 70-year-old Vibert Yaw, of Victory Valley, Wismar, escaped unhurt.
According to reports, the family members were going downhill en route to Linden when an approaching truck drove into their path.
The driver, Wendell Yaw, reportedly swerved to avoid a collision and careened off the roadway.
