OLYMPIC BRONZE medallist George Bovell III was discharged from the St Clair Medical Centre, yesterday.
The former Sportsman of the Year crashed his BMW car in an accident while on his way to spearfish at an oil platform in Mayaro on Friday. Bovell was in the Manzanilla area at about 7.05 am when his car collided with a truck proceeding in the opposite direction.
He was diagnosed with a concussion and was rushed to the Sangre Grande Hospital where he was stablised before being moved to the St Clair Medical Centre where neurosurgeons conducted further tests.
Sports Minister, Anil Roberts who is also Bovell’s coach, confirmed that Bovell experienced a bad headache, but predicted that he will make a full recovery with sufficient rest. The 28-year-old is expected to resume training for the forthcoming Pan American Games tone held in Mexico in October.
