EMERGENCY?personnel had to respond to their third mass casualty operation in the space of two months as 18 people were hurt, five of them in critical condition, after a minibus flipped over on the stretch along Gibbes, St Peter, yesterday evening.
The bus, travelling from Speightstown to Bridgetown just after 4 p.m., reportedly clipped a kerb and crashed into the gate of a private villa before it dramatically overturned.
Driver of B83, Wendell Piyotte, of Upper Mount Standfast, St James, who had to be extricated from the bus, was among the five badly hurt.
Two children, a three-year-old boy and 14-year-old girl, were passengers in the minibus and sustained minor abrasions.
