A fuel vessel crashed into the Demerara Harbour Bridge (DHB) in the wee hours of Saturday morning, causing major damage that has rendered it inoperable for at least the next two days and disrupting daily travel for thousands.
The accident, which occurred just about 2 am on Saturday as the vessel, MV Tradewind Passion, was navigating the channel during the retraction period, has also left a DHB Company Ship Supervisor seriously injured after he was forced to jump from a tower to get to safety.
