(GPHC) following a horrific accident on the Soesdyke/Linden Highway which resulted in the death of three persons.
The accident occurred around 19:30 hrs on the Kairuni Public Road, Linden Highway.
Rayon Wilson sustained injuries to the head and suffered some broken limbs. Up to press time, he was in the recovery unit at the hospital, waiting to be transferred to a ward.
Those who perished in the accident have been identified as Malroy Ross, 31, of Lot 27 Canvas City, Wismar, Linden; Keaton Bollers, 20, of Kara Kara, Linden and Vallon Bowen, 60, of 29 Fair’s Rust. Junior Hutson, 29, is nursing his injuries at the Linden Hospital Complex.
The accident involved an articulated lorry bearing registration number GPP 2993 and motorcar with registration PHH 9398 in which the deceased and two injured persons were travelling.
The police said that the driver of the motor lorry revealed that he was proceeding south along the eastern side of the road when his vehicle developed mechanical problems, causing him to stop on the public road—there was no reflector light on the back of the truck.
Kaieteur News was informed that whilst in the process of effecting repairs under the front of the lorry, the driver heard an impact at the rear and upon checking, discovered that a car had collided with his vehicle.
With the assistance of passersby, the victims were all rushed to the hospital where three persons succumbed. The policeman was the driver of the vehicle.
