An 18-year-old West Coast Demerara lad is at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), nursing a broken right foot, injuries to the spine and bruises to his skin.
The teen, Graeme Edwards, was struck down on his pedal cycle by a car near Evergreen Street on New Road, Vreed-en-Hoop, West Coast Demerara, Tuesday morning.
The car has since been impounded at the Vreed-en-Hoop police station and the driver, Raul Welshman, is in police custody.
The teen’s mother, Joy Edwards, told Kaieteur News that her son would normally leave home at 05:15 in the morning for a “normal riding routine” and would return exactly one hour later.
She added that she would frequently warn him to be careful when he is riding.
“He and he brother like to ride a lot and every time they go for a ride I does always warn them,” the distraught mother added. She said on that particular morning she had asked him to be extra careful.
The mother explained that she became worried after she noticed it was almost 11:00hrs and her son had not returned home.
Fearing the worst, she went to the Vreed-en-Hoop police station and after there was no information on her son, she visited the West Demerara Regional Hospital.
There, she said that she was greeted with the most painful news of her life.
“I had the worst experience in my life when I went there,” the mother stressed.
She said she was told that her son was involved in an accident and that he will be transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Yesterday, his mother claimed that he was incoherent.
The driver’s wife, who was also present at the hospital, said that she wishes the teen well and hopes that he recovers soon.
She added that she was at home when the police informed her of the accident.
“My husband is at the station and they ain’t want loose him. I beg them to put him on bail so that he could at least work and assist the victim’s family but they ain’t want do that,” the wife claimed.
She added that she was told that her husband was coming out of the street when the teen collided with his car.
“His whole windscreen break and the bicycle fold up,” she stressed.
