Trinidad and Tobago’s Olympic bronze medallist George Bovell was moved to a private hospital yesterday after receiving stitches and suffering moderate head injuries following a vehicular accident.
Coach and Sports Minister Anil Roberts says the 28-year-old Bovell had been taken to the St Clair Medical, where he will be seen by a neurosurgeon.
Roberts says the accident occurred while the swimmer was heading to Mayaro, after a practice session.
Bovell is a three-time Olympic swimmer who won the bronze medal in the men’s 200 meters at Athens 2004.
