Victim of Cemetery Rd hit and run still in serious state

Hit and run victim Yevette Neptune remains in a serious condition at the Georgetown Public Hospital where she was admitted last Tuesday.

The driver of the vehicle which hit the woman is yet to be identified, her sister Janice said yesterday, and police are making very little progress with getting information.

“There is a man who saw what happened but he told me he is afraid to go to the police to give a statement,” Janice told this newspaper yesterday. “He told me he is deportee and that is the reason why.”

When she visited Neptune yesterday, Janice said, the woman was still slipping in and out of consciousness but spoke with her briefly. Neptune, according to the woman, indicated that most of her body felt “numb”.

“She kept telling me strange things,” Janice said.

Neptune of 3407 Stevedore Housing Scheme suffered two broken legs which had surgery done on them to insert steel. She also sustained injuries to the head and a fractured neck.

Reports say that the woman was hit by a vehicle on the corner of Norton Street and Cemetery Road some time between the hours of 2.30 to 4 am on Tuesday. She was said to be lying there until a passing security vehicle picked her up and took her to the hospital.
