Woman still unconscious one week after being injured by tree at Success

Sunita Persaud

Sunita Persaud, the woman who was seriously injured after she was pinned by a tree that fell onto the shed she was under in the Success squatting area one week ago, remains hospitalised in an unconscious state.

Persaud, 45, whose address police gave as Lot 28 Crown Dam, Industry, East Coast Demerara, suffered a fractured skull, injuries to her spine, ribs and a broken leg in the freak accident. She also remains unconscious.

Sonia Naseer, a sister of the woman, told Stabroek News that Persaud’s injuries had caused internal bleeding in her head and stomach, which doctors said made her too unstable to undergo needed surgery.
