Passenger trapped in car after late night smash-up
A passenger of a motorcar was left pinned in a car for almost an hour following an accident at the junction of the Rupert Craig Highway and Conversation Tree around 23:00 hrs last night.
A passenger only identified as Raj was pinned in the car.
The man who was also identified “Court man” was heard pleading for help as fire fighters struggled to manually steady the car which was leaning dangerously a the canal that runs parallel to the southern side of the Rupert Craig highway.
He was eventually pulled from the wreck after several minutes of trying to pull a section of the car apart.
The badly injured man was in a car that had reportedly turned onto the Rupert craig highway and slammed into another car that was proceeding west.
According to an eyewitness, who was heading to Georgetown, a white motorcar bearing licence plate number, PJJ 2643 sped pass his vehicle, and slammed into another red car which was turning out of Conversation Tree Road heading West onto the Rupert Craig Highway.
The eyewitness added that upon hearing the loud impact, he immediately rushed to the scene only to find a man trapped in the back seat of a red car, as passersby assisted the other passengers of both cars.
Five other persons were rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation. They were identified as 17-year-old Rashana Smith, Junior Horton 22, Teneshia Lewis 20, Andrew Wickham 22, and an unknown female, who was, up to press time, still unconscious.
