Relatives and close companions of Daniel Jno Baptiste, known as Gyaz, confirm he remains in a critical state at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Center following a severe incident on the Sydney Walling Highway and American Road earlier today.
Gyaz, a 29-year-old native of Portsmouth, Dominica, sustained significant injuries, including damage to his hip, head, and other body parts.
The force of the accident propelled him over the barrier at Harney Motors and onto the premises.
Tragically, Gyaz was a passenger on a motorcycle driven by Dram Sanderson, who lost his life while en route to the hospital.
