Six of the persons involved in the two-car, East Bank Demerara accident, which claimed the life of a 64-year-old woman on Sunday evening, are in the hospital receiving treatment.
Jane Ivy Thompson, 64, of Linden died as a result of the injuries she sustained in the accident.
Her daughter Neshall Edwards was hospitalized and in the ICU when Stabroek News visited yesterday. Neshall’s husband Egland Edwards, also hospitalised, sustained injuries to his legs since they where pinned by the steering wheel following the impact of the accident. The couple’s son Egland Edwards Jr is in the paediatric ward with a fractured foot.
Three occupants of the other car Lennox Wong, Madonna Persaud and Wayne Porter are also hospitalised. Wong suffered leg injuries and is in the accident ward, while Persaud sustained head and back injuries.
On Sunday evening two cars collided on the Hutsonville Public Road, East Bank Demerara. One of the cars, a burgundy Carina AT 192, in which Thompson and the Edwardses was travelling, was heading to Linden. The second car, a white Carina 212, in which Wong, Persaud and Porter were travelling, was heading north into Georgetown.
Reports are that as the burgundy Carina got to Hutsonville, the other car, travelling to the city with a group which had been on an outing at one of the creeks on the Soesdyke/Linden Highway tried to overtake another vehicle and crashed into Egland’s vehicle.
