…driver claims “steering cut”

 

Four persons were injured after a minibus toppled several times before landing upside down in a trench at Mocha-Arcadia, East Bank Demerara, yesterday.
The injured were taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation. There was a mixture of school children and adults in the bus which was reportedly not at capacity, in terms of passengers.
Kaieteur News undertsands that the driver told the police that his steering “cut” and he consequently lost control of the vehicle.
The injured persons were saved by residents of Mocha.
Peeved residents in the area blamed the accident on the badly damaged roads, which they believe may have contributed to the steering damage of the vehicle, since drivers have to swerve from potholes daily.
A number of residents noted that since there are new housing schemes popping up in the area, heavy duty trucks are causing  severe damage to the roads when they traverse the area in the wee hours of the morning to carry building materials.
