Driver hospitalized after three vehicle collision

Berbice: A three vehicles  collision on Letter Kenny Public Road, Corentyne left Shaun Ahmad, 31  with a broken leg among other injuries after he swerved his vehicle into a trench in order to have prevented a head- on collision with a Banks DIH beverage truck (GEE 5182) earlier today. Additionally, the driver of a low- bed trailer (GHH 9110) swerved into a resident yard in order to prevent a further calamity.

The low- bed and beverage truck was heading to New Amsterdam while the canter was heading further up the Corentyne coast.

Ahmad was rushed to the Port Mourant Hospital immediately after the accident. The beverage truck driver was arrested and taken to the Whim Police Station.

Reports are, too, that the beverage truck performed the overtaking procedure on a double- line, which is against road- safety regulations.
