Man flees after injuring two with jet ski
Sema Singh, 23,of Parika and 16-year-old Ashley Fredericks, of 342 Crane Housing Scheme, were yesterday rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), after being impacted by a jet ski at Bushy Park Parika.
The two were said to have been enjoying a bath on the bay of the creek when the Jet Ski crashed into them. The girls both cried out for severe head and jaw pains.
The injured girls
Singh’s face was swollen so badly that she couldn’t speak and is believed to have suffered a broken jaw.
This newspaper understands that a male who is believed to have been under the influence of alcohol crashed into the girls while doing “stunts” close to shore. Subsequently he fled the scene in a dark blue Toyota Premio, PNN 5055.
Kaieteur News learnt that the Jet Ski was brought to the beach by a black hummer plated PNN 6342 owned by a man whose only alias was given as “Yellow Man”. According to reports, Yellow Man is the father of the male who crashed into the girls.
The mother of Fredericks said that minutes before the accident occurred she told the girls to come out of the water after she noticed the man “moving de thing wild.” She said that her other daughters came out the water and she sent them back to call the now injured Ashley Fredricks.
The family said that they were approached to “end the story” but didn’t respond since they were more interested in the state of the girls
