Star NBA player Kenyon Martin and his girlfriend Trina left Belize today on separate flights, Trina on an American Airlines flight to Miami and K-Mart on an American Airlines flight to Dallas. But the star couple both left behind an angry and embittered family. We are talking about the Abrahams, the father and his two sons in the minivan that collided into the Ford Excursion carrying Trina and K-Mart from the airport on Friday afternoon. Trina and K-Mart weren’t driving but the story was big news on the internet and in all that it seems the Abrahams were forgotten. But not by us, today Keith Swift revisited George Abraham and his still injured son Dylan.

Keith Swift Reporting,
It’s been five days since this Dodge minivan collided into this Ford Excursion, carrying NBA player Kenyon Martin and hip-hop performer Trina. George Abraham was driving the minivan and he has been reliving the accident daily because he’s home but in pain – unable to sleep and his 12 year old son Dylan is unable to eat.

George Abraham, Injured in Accident
“I have a broken ribs now and I have a bruised spleen, a finger fractured but I didn’t get x-ray for my shoulder and that is the one that keeps paining me in the night and I can’t sleep good. My son here Dylan, he is the one that suffered the most injury now other from me. He can’t eat too good because the airbag hit him in the face and now he can’t eat too good and that is why he is angry. His knee is still swollen and pain because his ligaments are torn but he is coming around. It is just that he can’t walk too good and eat well because he loves to eat.”

Jennifer Robinson, Grandmother of Injured
“They have bruise and a broken ribs George had gotten, a spleen is damaged and the fingers on the left hand also is damaged. And Dylan, on his both knees, he has cheeks right now, he cannot eat or drink well because the splinters damaged his face so he cannot chew.”

The Abrahams say what’s added insult to those injuries is that since leaving the accident scene on Friday, neither Trina nor K-Mart has bothered to look back.

Jennifer Robinson,
“I am angry because no one at all, not even the police men show support. The people they caught in the accident with them and none of them have come back to the family to this day which is today Wednesday. No one has come around to say, to ask, or to apologize for what is happening or what they can do. Dylan is suffering so much, George is suffering also. He cannot sleep in the night so it is hard for us.”

George Abraham,
“I think because me and my kids are nobody, that is what I think. We are nobody to them but to my family and everyone well else we are somebody. I am going to deal with this in the proper way and let the law take its course and see who is going to do something about it.”

Keith Swift,
Trina and Kenyon left the country today. If you could have said something to them, what would that be?

George Abraham,
“Man to be honest with you Keith they said they came here to help the youths but my kids are youths too. At least they could have the hearts and say let us dig around, because Belize is not a big country, it is a small country, find around and see where I live, see what happened to the kids. My kid loves basketball ball too, as a matter of fact he wanted to go to the thing that the basketball player had but with the injury he couldn’t go. They could not even come and say if the kids are okay. Show some kind of support.”

George Abraham told us that apart from his and sons’ health - his pressing concern is economic. That is because his minivan has been totalled which means he cannot work since he provides courier and taxi services. Abraham maintains he was in the right but police have told us they are still investigating. We couldn’t reach Eugene Jex- the driver of the Excursion for comment. We have to note that before leaving the scene – Trina did go over and check on the injured children. Also we have received reports that an attempt was made to see them at the hospital but they weren’t admitted. Again neither K Mart nor Trina were driving. Dianne Finnegan who is one of the organizers of the trip says she plans to visit the children and has made that known to the family.
