SUV driver trapped as vehicle plunges into canal
About 21:45hrs a man plunged into the Church and Cummings Street canal and saved an unidentified man who was trapped in his green Toyota jeep GGG4045. The man had been knocked unconscious.
Moments earlier the man’s vehicle had collided with a grey car.
The badly damaged car being towed away last night.
Eyewitnesses said that they heard a big bang and when they looked around they saw the grey car spinning several times before coming to halt.
“The car driver comes out without a scratch but the green vehicle man woulda drown if that junkie didn’t jump overboard,” a Bourda market vendor said.
Reports are that it took about 15 minutes for the man whose vehicle was mostly submerged to be extricated. He was immediately rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital in an unconscious state.
The Toyota being pulled from the Church Street canal in which the unconscious unidentified driver was trapped.
People who gathered at the scene waited with bated breath for more than 45 minutes to see if any one else was trapped inside the vehicle. When the vehicle was pulled out and it turned out that no one else was inside there was loud cheering.
At the hospital up to press time the man remained unconscious.
