Construction worker charged for death of cyclist

A 32-year-old construction worker was on Wednesday released on bail when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts to answer to a charge of causing death by dangerous driving.
Trevor Singh, of Buttercup Place, South Ruimveldt, Georgetown, appeared before Magistrate Judy Latchman and denied that on November 1, 2018 at Aubrey Barker Road, Georgetown, he rode motorcycle CE 2681 in a manner dangerous to the public, thereby causing the death of Floyd House.
The prosecution is contending that on November 1, Singh was heading west on Aubrey Barker Road when he collided with House, who was also heading in the same direction on a pedal cycle. Both men were picked up in an unconscious state and rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where House was pronounced dead on arrival.
The defendant was represented by Attorney-at-Law Paul Fung-A-Fat, who asked that his client be granted bail in a reasonable amount.
Singh was released on $350,000 bail, and the case was adjourned to November 20, 2018.
