– 11-year-old girl thrown from vehicle suffered broken limbs
Police are still to identify the male passenger from Saturday’s East Bank Demerara minibus crash which left seven people, including an 11-year-old girl hospitalised.
The man is being treated in the Georgetown Public Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit.
Also badly injured is 11-year-old year-old Fazella Fazal, who had her arms, legs, and two of her ribs broken, after she was flung from the vehicle.
Fazella, of Lot 21, Best Village, West Coast Demerara, told Kaieteur News that she was traveling to the city with her mother, Indira to shop at the Stabroek Market when the incident occurred.
She said that all she can remember is the terrifying impact of ‘something’ hitting the route 32 mini-bus in which they were traveling and feeling herself being flung from the mini-bus onto the parapet.
She said that although she was in excruciating pain, she could recall a man lifting her up and preparing to take her to the hospital.
Also injured are the driver, Bushan Ramoutar, 40, Chaitram Ramlakhan, 42, Jacqueline David, 41, and Gowrie Singh, 41, of Crane, West Coast Demerara; Elaine Wishart, 65, of La Grange, West Bank Demerara; and Indira Fazal, 21.
According to reports, the minibus, BHH 6238, was heading towards Georgetown when the driver, Bushan Ramoutar, suddenly veered off the road and ended up in a shallow trench in the vicinity of Bagotstown.
Passenger Elaine Wishart, who suffered back injuries, told Kaieteur News that the driver lost control after the vehicle was struck by a car, which was heading in the same direction.
The driver of the car reportedly did not stop.
Ramoutar is said to have sustained broken limbs in the mishap.
