A minibus had stopped to allow Sim to cross the road, but as she was doing so, a car reportedly overtook the minibus and struck her.

The young woman was immediately picked up and rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where she was admitted in an unconscious state.

Stabroek News has since been reliably informed that Sim has regained consciousness and her condition is listed as stable.

The driver of the car has since been taken into custody by police.
