A Port Kaituma police constable is among five persons nursing injuries following a serious accident which occurred on Wednesday at 10 Miles Access Road, Port Kaituma, North West District (Barima-Waini Region).
According to a police report, 28-year-old Daniel Da Silva, driver of motorcar $PRR 5084, was proceeding north along the eastern side of the 10 Miles Access road at a fast rate while negotiating a left turn when the accident occurred.
