Cyclist killed on BV Public Road

Police in ‘C’ Division are currently investigating a fatal accident that occurred on the Beterverwagting (BV) Public Road, East Coast Demerara at sometime around 23:20h on Saturday, and resulted in the death of a so-far-unidentified male pedal cyclist.
Police information is that motor car PRR 5263, driven by a 25-year-old businessman of Good Hope, ECD, was proceeding east along the northern side of the B.V. Public Road when the cyclist allegedly rode out from the northern side of the road and turned east into the path of the vehicle. The cyclist allegedly collided with the left front side of the car, and the resultant impact caused him to sustain head injuries.
Rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPHC) by the driver of the motor car, he was pronounced dead on arrival. His body is presently at the Lyken Funeral Parlour awaiting identification; which had not occurred up to press time on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the car driver remains in custody assisting with the investigations. He has since undergone a breathalyser test that concluded he was not under the influence of alcohol.
Both the motor car and the bicycle have been lodged with the police.
