Paying for Someone Else's Folly

Dear Sir,

While on vacation in the beautiful GrandCayman, my husband and I were involved in an auto accident on31 March, 2001. A young man on a motorcycle rear-ended our rentalcar on the Queen's Highway in front of Morritt's Tortuga Club.

The police estimated that he was going around80 MPH. We were only going about 10 MPH, as we had just turnedout of the drive of the resort.

We were all injured and taken to the hospitalin George Town by ambulance. While my husband and I only spenta few hours in the hospital, I am sure the young man that hitus was to be in for much longer. I understand that this is a commonoccurrence in that area. Hopefully, the police will soon be ableto do whatever it takes to stop the speeding.

I must say how kind the people staying atMorritt's, as well as Royal Reef, were to us until the policearrived. Also we do appreciate the care and kindness of the policedepartment, the ambulance attendants as well as the emergencyroom people.

Many thanks to all of you!!

Would you happen to be able to furnish thee-mail address of the hospital in George Town to me? I need tocontact them about our account-yes we had to pay for the serviceswe received for something that was not even our fault. We wouldappreciate any help you can give me. Thank you,

Peggy Young
