Another Tundra/Minibus accident victim succumbs

Mar 08, 2013 News

…one month later  

Another victim of the horrible smash-up between a Toyota Tundra and a minibus on the Mon Repos Public Road has succumbed.
Seventy-eight year-old Eldon Reynolds was pronounced dead at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation early Wednesday morning after collapsing at his home.
Reynolds was one of the 14 persons injured as a result of the smash-up which occurred on the night of February 4, last.
His son, 51-year-old Wayne Reynolds was also in the minibus and he also received injuries, but was treated and sent away.
Kaieteur News understands that Reynolds, who reportedly suffered broken limbs and lacerations to his face, was discharged from hospital on February 14, after 10 days in hospital.
His discharge did not go down well with his relatives.
“He was not responding well to persons around him and was bed-ridden at home. He was in and out of consciousness all the time. But they told us that he may respond better once he was around relatives,” a son of the dead man told this newspaper.
Seventeen-year-old Gidram Rasiawan, of Eccles, East Bank Demerara, was charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving, stemming from the deaths of the minibus driver Godfrey Daniels, 42, of Ann’s Grove, and passenger Shondell Yaw, 36, of Annandale, East Coast Demerara.
Police are awaiting the results of a post mortem examination to ascertain the cause of Eldon Reynolds’ death, which could determine whether an additional charge could be laid against the driver of the vehicle that caused the accident.
It is alleged that the minibus was heading toward the city when the pick-up reportedly turned out from a street onto the main road and crashed head-on into the minibus.
An eyewitness told this publication that after the pick-up turned onto the main road, “it went full speed into the minibus’ lane”, resulting in the collision.
