Jun 18, 2013 News

 

Linden Griffith, 28, of Mainstay remains in a critical condition in the Intensive Care Unit, at the Suddie Public Hospital. Griffith hit his head on a rock after he was hurled from his motorbike on Father’s Day.
Arrangements are currently underway to have Griffith transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Reports have indicated that Griffith, who was at the time making his way into Mainstay, skidded several times on the road. He was said to be under the influence of alcohol when he fell.
Meanwhile, Leon Benn, of Pomeroon was rushed to the Suddie Public Hospital Monday morning after he was involved in a boat accident at Marlborough, Lower Pomeroon River, Sunday night.
According to reports, Benn and a crew of young men were said to be imbibing alcohol at a shop in the Pomeroon. As they were returning to their various homes, sometime during the night, the boat crashed into a huge clump of bushes.
The boat bow sustained massive damage.
And Paulo, the Wakenaam speedboat driver, remains under police guard, at the Suddie Public Hospital. Paulo is said to be suffering from hypertension.
Reports are that Paulo was venturing out of Supenaam Creek, on Friday, around 4:30 hrs, heading for Wakenaam Island. He was transporting five passengers, when it was reported he collided with a boat piloted by Ganesh Roopnarine “a/k”Shines”, formerly of West Coast Demerara and Affiance, on the Essequibo Coast.
Roopnarine fell overboard in an unconsciousness state. He was pronounced dead by a doctor at the Suddie Public Hospital, later that day.
An employee at the Supenaam Stelling informed that MARAD engaged speedboat operators in a meeting on Thursday, the day before the fatal accident and safety was zeroed in by MARAD officers.
Monitors have indicated that while no special changes will be made in terms of how speedboats operate, they are however cautioned to slow down when they are negotiating turns along the banks of the River.
