2 injured after Police Corporal reverses onto Corentyne Highway

Two persons were admitted patients at the New Amsterdam Hospital after a car owned and driven by a Police Corporal reversed onto the Corentyne Highway and into the path of a motorcycle.
The injured men were identified as Ricardo Mc Leen, 32, of Warren Village East Coast Berbice (ECB), and Permanand Kissoon, 25, the pillion rider of Albion Village, Corentyne. Both are nursing fractured legs.
Based on reports received, the accident involved the motor car bearing registration number PSS 7097 and the motorcycle with plates CG 3952. At the time of the accident, the motorcycle was proceeding along the Albion Public Road when the Police Corporal reversed into the path of the cycle.
As a result, the cyclist applied breaks but his effort proved futile, thus leading to the front wheel coming into contact with the right side of the car.
Due to the impact, the driver and pillion rider fell onto the road’s surface where they received injuries.
They were picked up and taken to Port Mourant Public Hospital, and subsequently transferred to New Amsterdam Public Hospital where they were admitted.
A breathalyser test was conducted on the Police Corporal and it proved that he was over the prescribed limit of alcohol consumption. He is presently under close arrest.
