Several police ranks and several prisoners are now injured following an accident at Uitvlugt, West Coast Demerara.
The News Room has been informed that the police van was at time escorting prisoners when a lorry crossed the road in its path.
In an effort to prevent the police vehicle from slamming into the lorry, the rank who was driving swerved, resulting in the vehicle slamming into a nearby pharmacy.
All the prisoners have so far been accounted for.
News Room’s Senior Crime and Security Journalist Leroy Smith is en route to the location.
Details in a subsequent report.
