Two drivers and their passengers have been hospitalized at the Skeldon Public Hospital after the cars they were driving collided on Saturday leaving them nursing fractures and head injuries.
Inquiries disclosed that 25-year-old barber Kamesh Chand Chaterpal of Corentyne Berbice was proceeding driving a motor car along #72 Public Road Corentyne Berbice.
Also, on the said road was 40-year-old Mfedhili Adedapo Campbell of First Ally Hill Linden with two passengers and a hire car owned by 30-year-old Bhagnauth Gurdayal of #72 Village Corentyne Berbice.
