Teen critical after struck by Education Ministry official’s car

Sep 30, 2014 News

A 13-year-old boy remained in an unconscious state yesterday after being struck down at around 21.00 hrs on Sunday at Stewartville, West Coast Demerara, by a car driven by an Education Ministry official.
Jameel Mounter, of North-East Stewartville Housing Scheme, reportedly sustained head and other injuries after being struck from behind while walking with two cousins. Relatives said that he is on a life support machine in the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation’s Intensive Care Unit.
Kaieteur News understands that the driver was detained following the accident but it is unclear whether he is still in custody.
Chief Education Officer, Olato Sam told Kaieteur News last night that he visited the Georgetown Public Hospital and met with the injured lad’s mother. Officials plan to meet with the relatives again today.
A cousin of the injured lad told Kaieteur News that they were walking in single file in the direction of Uitvlugt, when a car “came from nowhere” and struck Jameel.
She alleged that the driver did not come out of the car, and it was left to her and another relative to place the unconscious lad in the vehicle. He was taken to the Leonora Cottage Hospital. According to the cousin, the official who had struck down Jameel tried to leave the scene while doctors were tending to the unconscious teen. She said he eventually remained after she stood in front of his vehicle.
Jameel Mounter was subsequently transferred to the GPHC.
