Farazad Khan, a nine-year-old, is now a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital Pediatric ward after he was hit by a pickup truck yesterday at the corner of Broad and Ketley Streets. Charlestown.
According to the child’s medical reports, he has suffered a “mild scalp swelling along the frontal region”, as well as a “small fracture of the posterior third of the right first rib”.
Eyewitnesses had told his publication that the child was making his way across Broad Street on the pedestrian crossing, when a speeding Canter truck bearing licence plate number GHH 9348 struck him.
Kaieteur News was also told that upon realizing that the boy was hit, the vehicle driver attempted to flee the scene. However, it was several donkey carts operators who confronted him, took away the keys to his vehicle, and summoned the police.
The child was then rushed to the hospital in an unconscious state where he was treated at the Accident and Emergency Unit before being transferred to the children’s ward.
The boy’s mother also told this publication that the police are awaiting the child’s discharge in order to obtain a statement from him.
In the mean time, she added that the driver of the vehicle was released from police custody on $50,000 bail.
