Thirteen-year-old Kevin Marshall yesterday succumbed to injures he sustained when his bicycle collided with a minibus attached to the National Communications Network (NCN) on Sunday evening.
According to eyewitnesses, Marshall was riding his bicycle outside the Office of the President when the bus hit the back wheel of the lad’s bicycle, throwing him onto the road, where he reportedly hit his head on a boulder. He sustained massive head injuries. He was rushed to the hospital, and was later transferred to the St. Joseph Mercy Hospital for a CT scan.
The vehicle, with license plate number PLL-42 was reportedly driven by Dennis Yarris.
Staffers from the Office of the President rendered assistance to the injured lad.
His mother was inconsolable, last evening at the hospital. The woman said that she was informed about that accident when the lad’s friend came to the house and told her. Marshall’s mother, Carlotta Kerr, said she had cautioned her son against going on the road yesterday.
“I tell he stay inside, because he got school tomorrow, and I don’t even know when he leave the house.”
The woman lamented that Marshall’s father had succumbed to an accident some eleven years ago. She had begged, “Oh God, don’t take my only son now!”
According to the statement given by the driver, the boy failed to stop at the intersection at Regent Street and Vlissengen Road, and came into contact with the bus. Investigations are continuing into the matter.
