Despite the best efforts of the police, accidents continue to claim the lives of citizens.
A Corentyne motorcyclist who collided with a horse on Sunday evening on the No. 58 Public Road, Corentyne, Berbice, succumbed on Monday at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) after he was rushed there.
Dead is Anthony Persaud, 20, a mechanic of Lot 126 No.57 Village Corentyne, Berbice.
Persaud was riding his Jailing motor cycle around 21:00 hrs on Sunday on the NO. 58 Public Road when he collided with a horse that was on the road.
After the impact Persaud was hurled from the motorcycle and landed several feet away. The horse, it was reported ran away, and could not be found.
The man’s sister, Mariana Persaud, 22, said that the family was at home when a passing resident informed them of the tragedy. When the family arrived on the scene the young man was lying on the road.
Persaud was picked up and placed in a passing ambulance and rushed to the Skeldon hospital. He was subsequently transferred to the New Amsterdam hospital and then to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation where he succumbed around 16:00 hrs.
The family was told that Persaud had suffered severe trauma as a result of injury to his brain. The family complained that if the man had received more urgent medical attention he might have survived. They said that when they arrived at the Skeldon Hospital they had to wait for a few hours before an ambulance arrived from the Port Mourant Hospital to take the critically injured man to the New Amsterdam Hospital.
The ambulance at the Skeldon Hospital was newly acquired and reportedly had no gas – the family was told. The now dead man’s sister stated that they offered to purchase gas, but the offer was refused.
Persaud who leaves to mourn, his parents and his three siblings, was the youngest of the lot.
