Donald Trotman escapes unhurt as his car catches fire
FORMER judge Donald Trotman escaped serious injury last evening when the vehicle he was driving burst into flames on the East Coast Demerara.The Guyana Chronicle was at the scene and heard Mr Trotman, father of Speaker Raphael Trotman, relate to firemen who were summoned that the vehicle was over heating as he drove. He
stopped, added coolant to the radiator and continued on his way.
But in the vicinity of the Mon Repos Market, the vehicle caught fire and he swerved into the parking area. He explained that as he exited the vehicle, several citizens prised open the carβs bonnet and threw sand from the parking area to douse the blaze. His son, who is also an executive member of the Alliance for Change (AFC), soon arrived on the scene and thanked the citizens who assisted his Dad.
The retired judge was visibly shaken and thanked those who helped to put out the blaze for their quick thinking.
