One schoolchild discharged

Vickram Sukraj, one of the Crabwood Creek Primary school children involved in the January 10 Tapir accident was discharged on Friday while Rohame Baran is due for an operation on her leg this Tuesday.

Baran and Sukraj, both 10 years old, of Crabwood Creek, Berbice, were passengers in a Tapir heading to school when the accident occurred.

Sukraj had also sustained a fractured skull as well as bruising to his face and body. In addition he suffered injuries to his neck and subsequently his leg was found to be fractured.

Meanwhile, Baran had sustained a broken leg, a fractured hand and skull along with severe bruising to the face and other parts of the body. Yesterday in the Paediatric Ward of the Georgetown Public Hospi-tal, Baran was crying out in pain.

Her bruised face has healed significantly and her mother said that the child is due for surgery on the leg on Tuesday.

The children were injured when the Tapir which was taking them to school collided with a bus that was reportedly speeding.
