Driver granted $200,000 bail for fatal Church Street collision

Lawrence Holder of Paradise, East Coast Demerara has been placed on $200,000 bail for causing the death of motorcyclist Conal Husbands following an accident that occurred at the intersection of Cummings and Church Streets, Georgetown on March 25.
The 48-year-old Holder was on Friday arraigned before Chief Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus in that Georgetown magistrate’s court, and was not required to plead to the indictable charge which detailed that, on March 25, 2024, he drove motorcar PAF 3166 in a manner dangerous to the public, thereby causing the death of Conal Husbands.
Holder was represented by Attorney Adrian Thompson, who applied for bail for his client on the ground of him being a dialysis patient.
The Chief Magistrate has placed Holder on bail, and has adjourned the matter to May 7, 2024.

RECAP
On the day of this accident, Holder was driving motorcar PAF 3166 along Cummings Street while the motorcyclist Conal Husbands was proceeding along Church Street.
As the car and motorcycle approached the intersection at Cummings and Church Streets, the car allegedly failed to heed the stop sign, and collided with the motorcycle, causing the driver thereof to be flung some distance onto the northern parapet of Church Street.
Picked up by EMT personnel in a semi-conscious condition and with injuries about his body, the motorcyclist was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries despite being attended to by doctors on duty.
