The body of the man who was identified as Anil Ramanand or “Cake Man” of Enmore, East Coast of Demerara (ECD), met his demise on Saturday after he was struck off his pedal cycle by an SUV.
The accident reportedly occurred at about 16:30h.
While details remain sketchy, Guyana Times understands that the driver of the motor vehicle bearing registration number PXX 8090 was taken into Police custody.

Eyewitnesses told this publication that at the time of the accident, “Cake Man” was on his way home.
After the impact, the now dead man was pitched several feet away and landed on the road, where he sustained severe head injuries.
He was seen lying in a pool of blood for some time as people flocked to the scene, including his wife. The distraught woman said he had left home to run some errands.
Emergency Medical Technicians arrived on the scene sometime later and pronounced him dead.
However, checks are being made in the area for CCTV footage as investigations continue.
This is the second fatal accident that has occurred in Enmore over the past weeks. Last month, Police Constable Roger Clinton Bowen died after he was involved in a motor vehicle accident along the Enmore Public Road.
He was admitted to the High Dependency Unit at Georgetown Public Hospital but succumbed a few days later.
