The driver of a truck laden with logs that crashed into a sign painter, who was designing a wall at the National Cultural Centre (NCC) two weeks ago, remains on the run, while his victim is in the midst of a painful recovery.
The victim of the accident Rodwell Bess, 30, of 232 Middle Road, West La Penitence, was on June 5 painting a sign for the ‘Feel the Beat’ finale outside the NCC when he was hit by the truck, which was carrying a trailer of logs. It is believed that the driver of the truck, bearing licence plate GMM 2111, lost control as he was speeding north on Mandela Avenue. He exited the vehicle and escaped without rendering any assistance to Bess, who was pinned.
Stabroek News visited Bess at his home on Thursday last and found him in his bed. He stated that he was discharged from the Georgetown Public Hospital more
