A motorcyclist is now dead after the motorcycle he was riding ran overboard on the Essequibo Coast, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam).
Dead is 26-year-old Dinesh Williams, called “Goat Man”, a truck driver of Hibernia, Essequibo Coast.
The accident occurred sometime around 07:30h at Hibernia Back Street.
Guyana Times understands that Williams was heading home after an outing when the accident occurred. At the time, he was reportedly speeding and as he approached a turn in the street, he lost control of his motorcycle, which ran overboard with him still on it.
The trench into which the motorcyclist plunged and died
Reports are that both the bike and Williams ended up in a nearby trench, where he was pinned. As a result, Williams reportedly drowned.
Sometime after, his relatives turned up at the scene and an unconscious Williams was removed from the trench and rushed to the Suddie Public Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
“This morning a neighbour come by we and told us that Dinesh lost control of his motorbike and end up in the trench round the turn. When we meet the scene, he was already dead… the bike pinned him causing him to drown,” a relative had told this newspaper. (G14)
