the release signed by PUL’s outgoing Assistant Secretary General, Akoi M. Baysah Jr. said Mr.dent Coffey and his driver were getting off a motorbike when they were struck by a commercial vehicle, which instantly killed the operator of the motorbike and left Coffey with a fractured thigh and a dislocated knee, both of which have been confirmed by an X-ray, and his driver hurt.
According to PUL release, the outgoing PUL President Coffey is stable and getting emergency medical care at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital (JFK) from a medical staff of experts.
At the same time, the team of one of the 2022 PUL presidential candidates, Julus Kanubah has extended best wishes to Mr. Coffey and regretted the accident. A release from Team Kanubah said that a delegation visited him at the JFK Medical Center on Monday to wish him a speedy recovery.
In a related development, the PUL expresses gratitude to former representative J. Byron Brown, Sr. and Attorney Ebenezer A. Zonoe for being the accident’s first responders. Before referring Coffey and his driver to the JFK medical facility in Monrovia, the two men who are lawyers transported the pair to Buchanan.
