Ruby accident survivors recovering

Five of the survivors of Saturday afternoon’s accident at Ruby,  Essequibo are in a stable condition at the Georgetown Public Hospital.

Survivor, Tameka Johnson, said that the driver of the bus she was in was not speeding at the time of the accident. Johnson’s four-year-old son was also injured in the accident and is a patient in the paediatric ward. Johnson said that the driver of the other bus was seen drinking several minutes before the accident. “He was drinking not too far from my cousin before the accident and when he finished he got up to go and drive and persons were trying to take the keys away from him but  he lamented that he wanted to drive… Our bus driver was driving at a normal pace and then this guy just cut across the road, I don’t know if he lost control or what,” the woman said.

Cheryl Ramnaryn, told this newspaper that she suffered a fractured left foot and had surgery done earlier in the day. Ramnaryn said
