– Driver trapped for after car slams into sand truck
A young driver can thank several public-spirited citizens for coming to his rescue during the early hours of Wednesday morning after he slammed into a sand truck near Diamond, East Coast Demerara.
The unidentified man was trapped for over an hour in his mangled vehicle and passersby, using a metal pipe as a lever, toiled unsuccessfully to free the driver’s legs.
It took two truck drivers using chains tied to each end of the wreck to free him. He is believed to have sustained severe injuries to his legs.
Police who were at the scene took the victim to the East Bank Demerara Regional Hospital. On arrival, they were informed that there were no hospital attendants on duty. It was then left to the policemen to hoist the patient onto a stretcher and take him into the Accident and Emergency Unit.
