– no charges for driver
The 18-year-old who was seriously injured in an accident on Old Year’s night remains in an unconscious state at the Georgetown Hospital Intensive Care Unit.
Lakram Delima of La Bonne Intention sustained multiple injuries to the body after he was struck down by a motorcar.
Yesterday, at the hospital he was hooked up to a life support machine.
His mother, Sharmilla Ramdeo, is still holding on to the belief that her son would fully recover from the accident.
The woman said that her son’s accident has made her look at life differently. “My son’s accident has shown me that anything could happen to anyone,” Ramdeo said.
She said that she is still very emotional and will always remember the night of the accident.
Ramdeo noted that the most upsetting part of the accident is that the driver of the vehicle was placed on bail even though her son was not showing any signs of improvement.
She said that the police are showing no compassion toward the family.
The woman said that she visits the police station daily to get an update about her son’s matter and the police officers would refuse to divulge any information.
“The officers would holler at me telling me that it’s a police matter and I should go home, but I cannot. It’s my son.”
Ramdeo said that she also tries to question the police about the driver’s whereabouts, but they would only tell her that he is reporting to the station daily. She claims that she has never seen the driver since he was released on $50,000 station bail. The driver, according to Ramdeo, resides in England and was on vacation here.
On Old Year’s Night, the teen had left his home to purchase a phone card to call his grandmother in Canada.
He did not return, something that caused his parents to launch a search in the area.
Ramdeo explained that her husband drove past the accident scene many times before they eventually recognised their son’s jersey on the road.
“My husband saw a pool of blood on the road and we stopped and came out of the vehicle and when I came closer I saw my son’s jersey on the road covered in blood,” the woman cried.
The mother was later informed that her son was struck down by a motorcar and was taken to the hospital by a GDF ambulance.
The woman said that she was also told that after the vehicle struck her son down a female came out of the vehicle and saw her son’s apparently lifeless body on the road, and shouted to the driver that “he was dead. Let’s get out of here”.
The driver who was heading toward Georgetown quickly changed directions.
It was also reported that one eyewitness contacted the Beterverwagting Police Station, who sent a rank who only came and removed the mangled bicycle, leaving the lad lying bleeding on the road.
BE THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL TO THE FOREIGN EXPLOITERS
