Hanover: More Than a Dozen People Injured in Bloody Accident ,in Hopewell

More than a dozen persons were rushed to the Lucea Hospital, in Lucea, Hanover, and treated for serious injuries they sustained in a three-vehicle collision, which occurred along a section of the Hopewell main road, along Hopewell main Street, Hanover, on Monday afternoon, May 17.

Reports by the police are that about 7:00 pm, a fisherman who hails from the community of McQuarrie Drive, in Hopewell, picked up his wife from work and was heading towards his home, in his Nissan motor car, when the driver of a Toyota Corolla motor vehicle collided head-on into the Nissan.

The impact of the crash sent one of the vehicles crashing in a Toyota Noah bus, which was laden with passengers.

The police and fire department were alerted, and upon the arrival of the firemen, some of the victims had to be cut free from the wreckage.

Residents in Hopewell lashed out at the fire department which they say is lacking in service. The angry residents told Mckoy’s News that the firefighters came to the accident scene unprepared, and they had to provide them with even lights from their cellphones in order for them to work.

One resident said he arrived on the scene immediately after the accident occurred, and even at 8:30 pm, the wounded fisherman was still suffering in his crushed car, due to the firemen not having the proper equipment to free the victim who was trapped in the car.

After close to two hours at the scene, the last of the victims were rushed to hospital, where he was treated and admitted in serious condition.
