Bryan Aubrey Devine, 65, has been bed-ridden in hospital since January 1, following an accident. He is lucky to be alive. His friend, 61-year-old George Baker, was not so lucky. He died on the spot. He was the first fatality for the year.
Devine lives at lot 30 Kokerite Street, East La Penitence.
On that fateful day, New Year’s Day, 2015, he left home to buy papers. Devine recounts as he was standing talking to Baker, “all I hear is Baker holler watch it and he chuck me out the way then badam…. a car slammed into us.”
Both Baker, who lived in Freeman Street, East La Penitence, and Devine, landed in the trench.
Both of Devine’s legs were broken. When he was rushed to the hospital he received 54 stitches to his two legs in addition to four under his left eye.
Almost one year later there is still no word on what has happened with the case. Devine was supposed to be one of the witnesses to the incident, but to date the police have not taken a statement from him and the driver is constantly heading to court.
“The matter is proceeding in court and till now we ain’t hear from no one. We want assistance to help him and he now has bed sores and needs assistance to go to the washroom and move around while his legs are deteriorating as is his health,” his niece Donna Waldron said yesterday.
According to hospital officials, the man was discharged more than six months, but cannot go home as no one is there to care for him.
Another niece, Jeneer Devine said, “We want to take him home but we don’t have any man to carry him upstairs and no wheelchair to move him around. He is in constant pain.”
