Submerged and smashed in:
These two cars collided at the corner of North Road and New Garden streets on Monday morning. The white one in the canal, bearing the banner ‘Get High on Life’ on its front windscreen had its front smashed in before it hit the canal. The other had its front smashed in also. It could not be ascertained which driver was at fault, but no serious injuries were reported. (Composite photo by Jules Gibson)
Well I guess the white car had reached its height – so it came down back and used water as a base.
That’s a good one, Guy.
The recklessness is never ending.
What a good day to go for a swim
I am so tired of seeing photos of car accidents in Guyana. I don’t believe there are any smashed up cars in Guyana that has not made our newspapers frontpage . Sure, if there are fatalities or injuries it’s news worthy but I can’t tell you the last time I saw photo of a smashed up cars in a U.S. newspaper. It’s definitely not frontpage material.
Tell me something, how much different is the car that got smashed up a weeks ago to the car in this picture? Oh, I see, the seats have been pushed back six inches farther than the seats of the car in last weeks accident. “WOW, how fascinating!” Come on now are we writing for kids?
This sort of journalism is not even seen in the small town newspapers in the US. They would prefer to write a story about the history of the their only barber shop or something of the sort. I think it’s time we raise our level when it comes to our new reporting. The newspaper editors need to follow the lead of those who are prominent in the news business
Here is a different angle on a car accident, take a photo of the victim, the ambulance, the hospital, the traffic light, the street sign, or the good samaritan who stopped to help out. I know that’s too tough to do especially when you get to the scene too late and all that is left is the two smashed up vehicle. ummm, ummm, umm.
Moderator’s comment:This photograph was not on the front page of the Stabroek News. In fact, it was not even on a prominent page, as it was only used as a filler on the following day.
