Two people escaped serious injury when a four-door pickup crashed into the back of an AD wagon and ran off the road along the northbound lane of Uriah Butler Highway, just before Bamboo Settlement, on Monday.
The driver, Robert Eric Doe, of Edinburgh, Chaguanas suffered multiple injuries and was taken to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex. He was bleeding from injuries to his head, witnesses said.
The driver of the AD wagon, Alton Michael Felix, of Mt Hope, walked away from the crash unhurt. Police said Doe was driving on the right lane when he collided with the AD wagon just after the Caroni Flyover.
A witness told police that both vehicles were driving on the northbound lane. Doe was in the right lane but he suddenly veered to the left lane and crashed into the back of the wagon. His van swerved off the road and slammed into an electricity pole, knocking it over.
The accident caused minor traffic but police officers, led by acting Insp Bernard and PCs Abraham and Boodoo along with Fire Service personnel, were quickly on the scene to divert motorists.
