Woman peeved at sloth of investigation into fatal accident
Gladys Simon told Kaieteur News that the police are delaying charges against the driver of the mini bus, BHH 4356, whom she is contending is the cause of the tragedy that claimed her son, Andrew Simon’s life.
Two Saturdays ago at Strathspey, East Coast Demerara, Simon was hurled from the bus, which subsequently collapsed on him, pinning him to the ground. He suffered severe spinal, leg and neck injuries.
Andrew Simon
Twenty- eight-year-old, Andrew Simon, of 34 Collins Street, Golden Grove, East Coast Demerara succumbed at the Georgetown Public Hospital to injuries sustained in the accident.
Seven other persons were also injured. These include Orin Vaughn, the driver; James Porter, Derrick Edmondson, Pamela Primo, Wenda Mc Pherson, Deon Bristol and Mona Gittens.
The mother of the late Andrew Simon is pleading with the relevant authorities to conduct proper investigations, as it relates to the circumstances surrounding the accident which claimed the life of her son. The woman said that she was disappointed that none of the drivers were detained after the accident occurred.
A police source told this publication that no one has been charged and the driver of the minibus is unable to move around after he sustained injuries from the accident.
The police said that the driver of the bus will be taken to the scene of the accident to take measurements. The drivers of the other two vehicles which were involved, will give their account of the accident before charges are executed.
