Jan 21, 2022 News

Kaieteur News – A 44-year-old man is currently nursing severe head injuries after he fell from a truck while it was speeding along the 10 Miles Road, Port Kaituma, Region One.
He has been identified by police as, Dennis Benette, a miner of Canal Bank, Port Kaituma. Bennette was among six passengers travelling in the tray of the truck bound for Port Kaituma when he fell out around 19:30Hrs.
One of the passengers related that Benette was sitting in the tray with the rest of them for the most part of the journey, however, while the truck was passing through 10 Miles, he stood up and attempted to sit on the rail while it was still moving. Bennette somehow lost his balance while trying to do so and fell out onto the road. The rest of the passengers immediately alerted the driver and he stopped.
He reversed the truck and the passengers reportedly jumped out to pick up a severely injured Benette. They recalled that he was in a semi-unconscious state and was rushed to the Port Kaituma Hospital where he was admitted for injuries to his head and body.
