NORMAN Manley, the nephew of former prime minister Michael Manley, is recuperating from injuries he sustained last week after spending nearly two hours fighting for his life as he was being washed away by flood waters in the Sandy Gully in St Andrew.
Manely was still shaken up by the incident yesterday, but his wife, Jennifer, told the Observer that her husband was recovering 'nicely' from the injuries he received when the angry flood waters dragged him from Charlton Ford in the Sandy Gully in St Andrew to a section of Riverton City where he was eventually rescued.
"He said, 'I am a lucky man. I am supposed to be dead. I was going through the Charlton Gully and it didn't seem to have much water and out of nowhere came a wall of water,' which he said it just shook the car and carried him about 50 yards from the road," she said. "He said he remembers trying to steer the car into the bank when all of this was happening, but he wasn't able to."
