GDF rank dies after colliding with motor car

A rank attached to the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) was killed on Thursday after he collided with a motor car at Vlissengen Road and Eping Avenue, Georgetown.
The dead rank has been identified as Private Kwasi Rodriguez of Albouystown, Georgetown.

Based on reports received, on the day in question about 10:10h, Private Rodriguez, who served in the Jaguar Company of the 1st Infantry Battalion, was riding his motorcycle when he came into contact with the motor car.
As a result of the impact, he sustained injuries and was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he succumbed while receiving medical attention. The rank enlisted in the FED in 2017.
In a release to the media, the Chief of Staff, officers and soldiers extended sincere condolences to the now dead soldier’s sister, Kizzie Harlequin and other close relatives.
Only recently, a former GDF rank was killed after he lost control of the motorcycle he was riding along the Coverden Public Road, East Bank Demerara (EBD).
It was reported that 33-year-old Dexter Cole, a father of one, of Dowding Street, Kitty, Georgetown, and a few of his club members were heading to Georgetown when he raced ahead of the group and fell into a hole, causing him to lose control of the motorcycle.
As a result, he was thrown from the motorcycle  and eventually landed on the roadway, breaking his neck. He later succumbed to his injuries.
