Man hit by “speeding” pickup truck hospitalised

Mar 20, 2013 News

 

Trevon Adams, 20, was riding his bicycle on the Golden Grove, East Coast Demerara Public Road last evening when he was hit by a speeding canter truck.
The young man had left his mother’s home in Golden Grove, and was reportedly heading to see his father in Nabaclis when the incident occurred.
The man’s father, Charles Adams, told Kaieteur News that he was also heading to see his son in Golden Grove when a yellow canter truck sped past him. The elder Adams recalled thinking to himself that the truck was going at a much too fast rate.
However, it was only after turning at the “bend” of the road (between Golden Grove and Nabaclis) that he heard someone saying that the canter had hit someone.
“After I hear that, I just ride up lil fuh see is what…but is then I see me son lying with he bicycle in the middle of the road.”
It is unclear as to which side of the road the younger Adams was on when he was hit.
His father pointed out that the lad seemed to have been in a serious condition when he was being transported to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
“He look like he lost two of he teeth, he hand, belly, back, all over was bruised up, and he one side face looked like it damaged from how it slam into the road. His bicycle break into two,” the senior Adams said.
After hitting Trevon Adams, the vehicle also slammed into the back of a parked minibus on the opposite lane of the road before ending up in a nearby barbershop.
Police arrived shortly after at the scene, and prevented the driver of the truck from being further roughed up by eyewitnesses and other villagers of Golden Grove.
As of late last evening, Adams was still being treated at the GPHC.
