The abandoned Toyota Allion at the scene of the accident
According to reports, the driver of the Toyota Allion was speeding while exiting Estate road, LBI onto the public road and clipped the back of Nissan Titan GLL, 2785 which was also travelling at a fast pace and heading toward Georgetown.
Reports further revealed that the Nissan Titan then lost control and swerved onto the parapet, uprooting a utility pole and injuring a mother and a child who was in a stroller. The Nissan Titan also slammed into a parked Toyota AT 192, injuring the driver, Clifford Ifill, who was just about to enter the vehicle.
His wife, Sharon Ifill, said her husband was returning to his car after purchasing items at a supermarket, when he heard a screeching sound behind him.
He tried to take evasive action but the pickup struck him. One of his legs was pinned under the vehicle.
He was admitted to the GPHC.
