Ituni lumber dealer succumbs two weeks after smash-up
A lumber dealer from Ituni, Region 10, succumbed yesterday morning at the Georgetown Public Hospital, some two weeks after being involved in an accident on the Ituni Trail.
Fifty-two year-old Jean Lim Stoll died at around 09:00 hours yesterday while receiving treatment at the medical institution.
The woman along with her husband, Frederick Stoll and their son Frederick Lim were involved in a smash up on February 20, last. Initial reports are that on the aforementioned date, the family was in a minibus which was being driven by the son when the collision occurred.
The dead woman’s son-in-law, Lenny Pluck, told this publication that at around 07:45 hours on the day in question the family was on their way to Georgetown to conduct business when a speeding pick-up truck slammed into their minibus.
According to Pluck, the vehicle in which his mother-in-law, father-in-law and brother-in-law were travelling was negotiating a turn, when the pick-up came into their path and caused a head-on collision.
The trio was rushed to the Mackenzie Hospital, but given the extent of Mrs. Stoll’s injury she was transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital. The other two injured persons were taken to the St. Joseph Mercy Hospital where they were treated and subsequently sent away.
According to Mr. Pluck, the owner of the other vehicle opted to take the other two injured persons to the private medical institution, but left Mrs. Stoll at the Georgetown Hospital since they were all of the opinion that she would have received the best medical attention there. However, over the past week, Pluck said his mother-in-law’s condition took a turn for the worse.
Pluck further stated that the driver of the other vehicle has accepted being responsible for the accident having admitted to the police that he lost control of his vehicle while negotiating the turn.
Investigations are ongoing.
