Presidential Guard Travis Fullington, one of two survivors from the horrendous October 15th Friendship, East Bank Demerara crash, has been discharged from the hospital, Traffic Chief Linden Isles confirmed yesterday.
Isles told Stabroek News that Fullington was discharged during the course of the week and is at home recuperating. However, he said, investigators are still to receive a detailed statement from him and the investigation remains incomplete.
On October 15th, a police car and another car collided head-on, resulting in the deaths of five persons including Fullington’s colleague Ronnel Barker, 24, also a Presidential Guard, who was driving a Guyana Police Force vehicle. The other deceased persons have been identified as Leon Tucker, 34, of 2544 Recht-Door-Zee, West Bank Demerara, a father of two and a member of the Guyana Defence Force, who was driving the other vehicle; Tucker’s aunt, Lovern Stoby, 66, of Third Street, Friendship, who was a traffic officer at the John Fernandes Wharf; and Denise King Josiah, 57, a cleaner, and Hubert Josiah, 58, a porter, both of 105 Second Street, Friendship, who were employees of the Diamond Diagnostic Centre.
