Early Sunday morning, Berlington Albert’s body was found pinned under an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) on the trail linking Paramakatoi and Kato in Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni). The discovery was reported around 04:00h. Details of the incident were not readily available. This incident tragically follows another ATV-related incident just two weeks ago when Devon Moralis, 39, lost his life after an accident in Eyelash Backdam, North West District (NWD), Region One (Barima Waini).
Albert pinned under the ATV between Paramakatoi and Kato
Moralis, of Wauna, Region One, was riding an unregistered ATV alone, en route to Providence Backdam, NWD. He reportedly lost control of the vehicle while negotiating a left bend at a high speed. The ATV veered off to the southern side of the road, flinging Moralis to the northern side where he lay motionless.
Shortly after, police arrived at the scene along with a doctor from Matthew’s Ridge Public Hospital. After examining Moralis, the doctor pronounced him dead. His body was later transported to the Mortuary at Port Kaituma Public Hospital. (G9)
