As a result of the three-vehicle collision, the vehicles were damaged extensively, and the drivers of all three vehicles, along with the two occupants, received injuries on their bodies.

They were all picked up by public-spirited citizens and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital’s Accident and Emergency Unit, where the driver of motor car #PMM 3778 was admitted suffering from a fractured right arm.

The other two drivers (and two occupants) were treated for pains in the chest, as well as lacerations about the face, respectively. Their conditions are regarded as stable.
