Victims in ‘after concert’ Mahaica accident discharged

Sep 01, 2012 News

Jamal Rahaman, the front seat passenger of the pick-up truck which toppled on the Mahaica public road injuring nine persons in the wee hours of last Monday, is the last of nine persons to be discharged from the hospital.
The nine young men were all believed to be under the influence of alcohol during the time of the accident which occurred at around 03:00hrs. The men were returning from a chutney show which had just ended.
According to initial reports, Julian Jones, the driver of the pick-up truck bearing licence plate number GHH 3697 was attempting to overtake a minibus when the same minibus swerved outward, coming into his path.
Jones reportedly made an instinctive swerve, resulting in the vehicle toppling several times before slamming into a mesh fence.
The men, most in their teens, suffered varying lacerations, but it was only the driver, Jones, and the front seat passenger, Rahaman, who were immediately rushed via an ambulance, to the Georgetown Hospital.
Rahaman reportedly lost a finger.
