Not much has changed as it relates to the medical condition of De Sinco Trading boss, Frank De Abreu. He is still listed in a critical condition at Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

This newspaper understands that De Abreu has not regained consciousness and remains on a ventilator, but is in a stable condition. Hospital officials said that his condition hasn’t deteriorated or improved; “except that his blood pressure went up.”
The official stated that during the next 24 hours, doctors will be able to ascertain more details about his condition and figure the next move.
“The next 24 hours will be crucial. It was initially 48 hours but the first 24 hours have passed so now we wait,” stated the source.
This newspaper understands that no further surgery has been performed. A general surgery was done on De Abreu whose face, according to reports, was badly disfigured.
The surgery was performed to correct internal bleeding, a punctured right lung, broken rib and damaged liver; and doctors declared that it was successful.
Doctors had also feared damage to De Abreu’s skull but a CT- scan has shown that he was spared such detrimental injuries.
De Abreu’s car, PHH 9488, collided with a fire tender that was reportedly responding to a grass fire in Non-Pareil, East Coast Demerara Sunday morning.
This newspaper understands that the fire tender slammed into De Abreu’s Honda which was heading east along Lamaha Street. The fire tender was heading north along Irving Street. The traffic lights at the intersection were not working at the time of the accident.
After the collision, the driver of the fire tender, in an effort to avoid other impacts, steered the vehicle into a nearby canal.
Four fire fighters were in the fire tender at the time. Although the driver, identified as Marlon Wilson, sustained severe injuries to the head, shoulder, neck and eye, three other firefighters sustained minor injuries and were treated at the hospital and subsequently sent away.
The De Sinco Trading owner was reportedly making his way home after checking up on ongoing rehabilitation works at Guyana’s top school, Queen’s College, since he had recently donated $1.5M for the aforementioned purpose.
