Earlier we told you about the traffic accident that claimed the life of 25 year old Erron Golanche, well the number of weekend fatalities could have increased last night when there was a serious collision on the Boom-Hattieville Road.
It happened at about 8:00 when Godfrey Garcia ran off the road and into a ditch. Paul Waight who was driving a van from Hattieville to Boom accompanied by Joseph Seguro and his common law Daisy Alamilla stopped to render aid and so did Paul's brother who was passing in a green pick up truck.
It all happened on a dangerous corner and Seguro saw a Red Rodeo approaching which he tried to slow down. But the Rodeo knocked him, his common law and crashed into the green pickup injuring Michael Wade.
Police explained further:...
ASP Chris Noble - Rural Executive Officer
"There was an incident that happened prior and persons had stop to assist and persons on the highway may have not notice the vehicles on the road and they knocked down and eventually drove into one of the persons assisting."
"Persons were injured and they were taken to the KHMH. We are looking into the circumstances of the driver of the driver of the vehicle that was on the major highway. The area was very dark and lighting may have been a factor, however, vehicles do have lights. We only want to know that persons should be careful when driving on the highways especially in times of festivities because we all know that one of the major contributing factors to traffic accidents is alcohol. If we find that it was a factor then we will lay forth charges."
"And for these people - they are from Burrell Boom, the likelihood of them being dead was very high and thankfully none of them succumb."
Police say that Godfrey Garcia the driver of the Rodeo appeared under the influence and an urin sample was taken. Seguro received the most injury and was transported to d hospital along with d other 2 persons.
