3 children in critical condition

A TWO-YEAR-OLD infant and her two cousins who suffered serious head injuries when her father’s car smashed into a TSTT pole and overturned on Sunday, remain warded in a critical condition. Their relatives are appealing to the public to assist them in raising money for a cat scan costing $2,000. Doctors at the San Fernando General Hospital told relatives that the children’s head injuries were life threatening and the scan needs to be done as soon as possible. Little Karishma Adhar and her cousins, Amid Moon, 10 and Dillon, 11, and three other children, were on their way to buy doubles with Jagdesh Adhar, on Sunday when, it is alleged, the driver of another car attempted to overtake them near Clear Water Gardens, Rio Claro.

Adhar lost control of the car, which smashed into a pole and also onto a culvert. The car went 15 feet in the air and landed on its hood. The father and three of the children, all of Deep Ravine Trace, Rio Claro, were treated and discharged. Jagdesh told Newsday yesterday that his daughter underwent emergency treatment and he was praying for his baby girl to recover from her injuries. He appealed to the public for assistance in raising the money for the cat scan. Meanwhile Karishma and her cousins are warded in a serious but stable condition at Ward five. PC Raufs Hosein of the Rio Claro Police is continuing investigations.
