A Stewartville teenager has been declared brain-dead after being struck down by an Education Ministry official’s vehicle a week ago on the West Coast Demerara Public Road.

Relatives also blasted the Ministry’s official on the assistance being offered and called on that ministry to assist in affording the teenager, whose condition they say is regressing rapidly, the opportunity of being treated by a brain specialist.

Jameel Mounter, 13, of Lot 76, Third Street, Stewartville Housing Scheme, was struck down at approximately 8pm on September 28,
