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.
