Critical: Frank De Abreu

However, relatives last evening disclosed that doctors advised that they will be given an update on his condition by 10:00 hrs today.
This newspaper understands that no further surgery has been performed since the initial procedure to address internal bleeding, a punctured right lung, broken rib and damaged liver, which doctors declared successful.
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. The accident occurred at around 09:30 hrs last Sunday.
This newspaper understands that the fire tender slammed into De Abreu’s vehicle 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 one of them, 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.
