A route 44 minibus, BRR 8028 carrying several passengers, turned turtle on Main Street, Georgetown after first slamming into motorcar PMM 2442, then another PHH 1190 before toppling minibus GNN 8381 from its parking space in front of Palm Court, pitching it several feet onto the road.
Some persons were taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital for minor injuries and they were discharged. Many persons at the scene expressed their disgust at speeding minibuses and passengers’ acceptance of such. It was even noted that persons could have been severely injured if they were along the roadway.
According to a passenger who was travelling in the route 44 minibus; a motorcar PMM 2442 which was travelling east on Hope Street Cummingsburg made a turn North onto Main street slamming into the minibus, which in turn slammed into two other vehicles before coming to a stop.
“The car come right through; the car didn’t stop, it just come right around the turn. It didn’t even stop or anything; it just come around, seven persons were in the bus, but people received minor injuries,” James Ford, a passenger of the bus said.
According to the driver of motorcar PMM 2442, Alan Atherly, the minibus had collided with another vehicle across the road before slamming into his car. The minibus then crashed into another bus before turning on its side.
“I wasn’t driving speed, the minibus which might have been going 90KPH and lost control then hit my car,” a traumatized Atherly said.
