PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad – Acting Chief Justice Wendell Kangaloo, remained critically ill in hospital today with head and facial injuries following an early morning car crash Sunday that left four people dead and injured two of the judge’s bodyguards.
Justice Kangaloo underwent emergency surgery along with two members of his security detail at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, east of here.
“I have been told by the medical team that they have done everything possible for him and the next three days they will know what is happening. He has facial fractures and he has a serious head injury,” Acting Prime Minister Jack Warner told journalists after visiting the judge in hospital.
A statement from the Judiciary at the Hall of Justice in the capital said the two police officers in Justice Kangaloo’s security detail suffered “less serious” injuries. (CMC)
