UPDATE – Injured scooter rider, Winter returns home; recovering well
In an exclusive interview with his father Shane Winter, he gave thanks to God for his son’s recovery which went from being critical to almost full recovery.
Mr. Winter thanked all those who have been there for him and his family during the time of his son’s tragedy and also took special time out to thank the Muslim community.
According to Mr. Winter who has since converted to Islam, he said while his son was in Jamaica June 4, 2012 for over a month, the Virgin Islands muslim community liaised with members in Jamaica and his son was visited by several specialists doctors during his hospitalization to ensure everything was ok with him.
The incident took place around 2:30 a.m. on Monday June 4, 2012 when the young man was the lone rider on a scooter that he allegedly was given by a friend to take a ride. He was said to also be wearing a helmet at the time of the incident which may not have been properly strapped on.
The accident occurred in Slaney, on the corner from Dolphin Discovery where the rider was apparently heading in a westerly direction when he apparently lost control and hit a guard rail.
He was taken to Peebles Hospital and subsequently flown to Jamaica the same evening for further medical treatment during which time he was in a critical condition.
