of Canaan, East Bank Demerara (EBD) earlier this month took a turn for the worse, sending family members into panic.
Faith Evelyn, 19, of Mocha Village, also on the EBD, is now a patient in the High Dependency Unit (HDU) of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
Evelyn was previously in the Female Surgical Ward up to a week ago but her condition has turned from worrying to critical.
Her father, Timothy Evelyn, told Kaieteur News that his daughter’s condition is severe. He said that he was told that his daughter is suffering from ruptured intestines.
“They already perform two surgeries on her and there is another one pending,” the father stated.
He said that although she can talk, the injured woman is unable to move around because she also sustained spinal injuries.
The 19-year-old girl and four of her friends were involved in an accident involving two cars on March 4 last.
Evelyn and her friends were rushed at the GPHC. One of her friends, Marvin Wray, 27, who was driving the car, was instantly admitted to the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU), where he succumbed a week later.
Her remaining three friends were treated and later discharged.
Kaieteur News was initially told that the driver of the car that collided with the one Evelyn was travelling in, had escaped from the scene.
However, yesterday a source said that the driver was hospitalised and the police are still conducting further investigation.
