A 64-year-old man is now battling for his life in the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC)’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU). He is currently on life support and has been in the unit for the past two days with his condition listed as critical.
Ivor Stuart, of 131 Melanie Damishana, East Coast Demerara, was struck down around 06:00am on Tuesday by a speeding driver, who was at the time racing to the Cheddi Jagan International Airport. He is currently in police custody at the Cove and John Police Station.
Kaieteur News understands that the father of two was at the time taking one of his routine morning walks when he was struck down on the Foulis Public Road, ECD.
Marxist Stuart, the injured man’s son, said that a friend of his called and informed him about the accident. At that time, his father was already taken to the hospital by police.
“I come straight to the hospital after I heard about the accident,” the younger Stuart recalled.
