Two (2) Police Officers have been taken to the San Fernando General Hospital after suffering serious injuries when both men crashed their motorcycles at an intersection in San Fernando this morning (Tuesday 29th November 2022).
The accident occurred in front of the home of CNC3 cameraman, Ivan Toolsie. According to reports, PC Joseph and PC Harripersad had just left the San Fernando Licensing Office and were returning to base at the San Fernando Police Headquarters on their Police motorcycles when the incident occurred. As the Officers proceeded North along Independence Avenue and came to the intersection of Ruth Avenue, they saw a motorist driving a Nissan Note, attempting to turn right from Upper Independence Avenue, into the newly constructed link road that connects Lady Hailes Avenue. That part of the road is under construction and there is no street traffic sign alerting motorists to impending danger. A witness said as PC Joseph stopped to alert the motorist, PC Harripersad, who was heading in the same direction, crashed into PC Joseph’s motorcycle. PC Joseph flew into the air and landed hard on his back. Consultant Surgical Oncologist, Dr. Ammiel Arra, who happened to be nearby, came to assist the Officers. PC Joseph is said to have suffered injuries to his back and possibly a broken leg. An off-duty Fire Officer, who was driving behind the men when the crash occurred, also assisted and called the Emergency Health Service (EHS) ambulance. Two (2) MTS Officers also arrived at the scene and watched over PC Joseph as he laid on the ground. The Officers were taken by ambulance to the San Fernando General Hospital.
