A 22-year-old uni­ver­si­ty stu­dent is be­ing treat­ed for mi­nor in­juries she sus­tained when she tried cross­ing the Pri­or­i­ty Bus Route (PBR) near Dins­ley Junc­tion on Fri­day morn­ing.

Po­lice said the woman was cross­ing the road, when a small red-band maxi over­took a parked maxi on the west­bound lane, knock­ing her down.

The dri­ver im­me­di­ate­ly stopped the maxi and helped her.

Passers-by in­clud­ing a Coast Guards­man, who was trav­el­ling near­by, al­so stopped to help.

The woman was tak­en to the Er­ic Williams Med­ical Sci­ences Com­plex by an am­bu­lance where she was kept for ob­ser­va­tion.

Po­lice said while tests and treat­ment were still on­go­ing up to Fri­day evening, the woman had dif­fi­cul­ty get­ting feel­ings in one of her legs but was con­scious and aware.

Of­fi­cers said the dri­ver of the maxi vis­it­ed the hos­pi­tal with the woman's par­ents.

Of­fi­cers of the Arou­ca CID were called in and are con­tin­u­ing en­quiries.
