Bariel Hall, the 18-year-old who remained a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital after being the victim of a hit and run accident just over two months ago, succumbed to his injuries yesterday morning.
Hall, who died just around 7 am, had been a patient at the GPHC since May 25th. He had been hospitalised following the hit and run, which occurred along Avenue of the Republic, in the vicinity of the Route 44 bus park. He never regained consciousness. Hall was making his way home at the time from a ‘J’ouvert’ during the carnival season. Subsequent to the accident, the driver of the vehicle did not stop to render any assistance to the teen. The driver was later taken into police custody and released on station bail.
