Public-spirited citizens render assistance to the victim
-hit-and-run driver abandons car, flees
A policeman, reportedly attached to the High Court in Georgetown, was last evening struck down while he was riding his motorcycle along Mandela Avenue, in the vicinity of Alexander Village. The man, whose name was given as Corporal Edwards, was pitched into the corner by Cross Street, after a Toyota Ist, PKK5540, apparently turned suddenly into his path in an attempt to enter Alexander Village.
His right leg was crushed and public-spirited persons, using a pick-up belonging to a Good Samaritan, rushed him to the hospital. It is believed that the victim may lose the badly mangled limb.
The driver of the car fled into Alexander Village where he locked the vehicle and disappeared.
Except for a small scrape on the car’s front bumper and some blood on the fog lamp, there was no other visible damage to the vehicle. Up to press time, police who arrived on the scene were searching for the driver.
