All except one of the victims of last week Saturday’s accident involving a truck and a minibus have been released from hospital.
The worst injured of the lot was Juliet Atwell, 48, and according to reports she will now need plastic surgery for her badly damaged hand.
The woman following the accident was rushed to the Linden Hospital and then transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital because of the severity of her injuries. As of Tuesday she was back in the Linden medical institution and relatives fear that she may lose her arm, as it needs urgent reconstruction and plastic surgery.
She was among 14 persons on Saturday afternoon that escaped with their lives, after the minibus in which they were travelling to Linden in, collided with a truck that had reportedly swerved out of its lane to hit an opossum in the vicinity of Dalgin, on the Soesdyke/Linden Highway.
Andrew Blair, the driver of the bus (BLL 2965) was among the injured that needed medical attention at the Linden Hospital Complex. He said he was just happy to be alive, and that no one on the bus had died.
The driver said that he was about to pass the truck, when it swerved suddenly out of its lane and crashed into his bus.
