2 motorists on $1M bail for causing death by dangerous driving charges

Two men were required to individually post $500,000 bail when they appeared before Senior Magistrate Zamilla Ally-Seepaul on Friday on separate counts of causing death by dangerous driving.
David Simon Isaac, 21, of Parika Façade, East Bank Essequibo (EBE), entered a not guilty plea to the accusation that he rode a motor vehicle recklessly on June 19, causing the death of Lloyd Garraway, 45. This defendant was required to post a $500,000 bail.

Garraway, of Lot 1801 Parika, EBE, succumbed to his injuries at the Leonora Cottage Hospital following an accident on June 19.
According to reports, Garraway, a pedal cyclist, was attempting to cross the roadway when he was struck down by an alleged speeding driver at about 02:40h.
The vehicle, PAD 3432, was driven by the 21-year-old at the time.
Police preliminary reports stated that the speeding motor car collided with Garraway as he was crossing the Hydronie Public Road, West Coast Demerara (WCD).
As a result of the impact, he sustained bodily injuries which rendered him unconscious.

No traces of alcohol were found in the driver’s body.
Meanwhile, Anil Ruplal, a 19-year-old motorcycle rider, who is accused of causing the death of 26-year-old Muneshwar Singh on the Leonora Public Road, WCD, on June 30, also appeared in court. He too was granted $500,000 bail.
Dead is 26-year-old Muneshwar Singh of Cornelia Ida, WCD. Based on reports received, at the time of the accident, Singh was riding motorcycle CM 1052 along the Leonora Public Road when another motorcycle, CL 9563, ridden by a 19-year-old, collided with him.
Police stated that the teenager was proceeding east along the northern side of the road at a fast rate of speed and whilst overtaking a motor car, he lost control, flipped, and collided with Singh.
At the time, Singh was proceeding in the opposite direction. As a result of the collision, both riders fell onto the roadway and received injuries on their bodies.
In an unconscious state, Singh was picked up by public-spirited persons and rushed to the Leonora Cottage Hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries. The teenage rider was also taken to the medical facility where he was treated and later handed over to the Police.
No traces of alcohol were detected in his system.
Both Isaac and Ruplal will return to the Leonora Magistrate’s Court on December 5. (G1)
