Marigot:--- The Sandy Ground accident victim Ricardo Gumbs was flown back to St. Martin on Tuesday. SMN News learnt that the young man arrived at the Louis Constant Fleming Hospital sometime in the afternoon on Tuesday. According to information received earlier this week the hospital that Gumbs was in Martinique said they were unable to do anything to save the young man’s life.
Ricardo Gumbs was struck off his motor cycle on Friday evening near US Imports by a hit and run driver. The gendarmes have since opened an investigation into the accident. No detail on the vehicle or driver have been released. Eyewitnesses say they saw when a Black KIA with Dutch License plate hit the motorist but no one managed to see the number plate of the vehicle that hit the young man. The scooter on which Gumbs was riding exploded into flames due to the impact. A video of the horrific scene can be viewed on SXMTUBE.
Relatives of Gumbs said that while the young man is at the Louis Constant Fleming Hospital, no one is allowed to visit him. The hospital is only allowing close members of the family to be with the young man during these critical hours.
