A collision on the corner of Camp and Norton Streets Thursday evening left several persons who were travelling in an East/ West minibus sustaining injuries and becoming patients at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.
According to reports, around 10:30 hours, a minibus filled with passengers was heading in a southern direction along Camp Street when a taxi heading in a Western direction, struck it. Those present at the scene told Kaieteur News that the taxi driver appeared to be under the influence of alcohol. He was staggering immediately after the collision and refused to offer any explanation for his actions.
Eyewitnesses told Kaieteur News that the taxi driver failed to stop at the corner as the sign indicated. The car after hitting the minibus slammed into a nearby tailoring establishment while the bus narrowly missed a pharmacy and crashed into the wall of the building next door on the other side of the road.
As police officers arrived on the scene, onlookers became irate and insisted that the ranks search the driver whom they said was the cause of the collision.
The police ended up taking the driver to the Brickdam Police Station.
