Six-year-old Jaheim King who was struck down on Tuesday by a minibus in Mabaruma, Region One is still in a critical condition and remains hooked to a ventilator.
The lad who has been a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC)’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for the past six days sustained head injuries and doctors at the facility are constantly monitoring his condition.
On Tuesday last, little King was standing near to his uncle’s yard when he was struck down by a minibus heading towards Hosororo. Eyewitnesses said he was flung several yards away from the point of impact.
He was picked up by an uncle and was rushed to the Mabaruma Regional Hospital before being air-dashed to the city.
Yesterday at the GPHC, the lad’s father, Edwin King could not say much about his son’s condition, “They have him sleeping so I don’t know but sometimes he would move his feet and so.”
The father of seven who is an ambulance driver at Mabaruma Regional Hospital has been in Georgetown since the accident and he is now wondering whether or not he will be jobless when he returns home.
Kaieteur News understands that the driver of the minibus which struck down the lad has been sent on station bail.
