A Parfaith Harmonie, West Bank Demerara (WBD) man is lucky to be alive when he ended up in a rice field after he swerved from a cow in the area on Thursday morning.
The man, David Carrington was reportedly returning from the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) in the wee hours of Thursday when the accident occurred.
This publication was informed that Carrington was proceeding home when a cow dashed across the road and ended up in his path.
In an attempt to avoid a collision, the man swerved but ended up toppling several times before coming to a halt on a nearly rice field.
Carrington explained that he fell unconscious following the incident.
After he regained consciousness, he said he struggled to exit his motorcar, bearing registration number PXX 1192, and immediately contacted his sister Denisa Romain, who in turn summoned the Police to the scene.
A breathalyzer test conducted on Carrington showed no sign of alcohol on his breath. The cow that reportedly caused the accident could not be found.
Another similar incident was reported in May of this year at the said location. In that incident, an Evening News Video Editor, Aggrey Halley was proceeding along the roadway on his motorcycle when he almost collided with a cow.
Residents of the area have made several reports to the Police regarding the cows that roam on the roadway but nothing has been done to correct the situation.
