Fifty-two-year-old Rajendranauth Harold Singh of Lot 28 Reliance Abandon, East Canje Berbice was killed on the Betsy Ground public road in East Canje on Friday at about 12: 30h when he slammed motorcycle CF 1615 into the rear of canter GWW 1831.
According to the Police, Singh, who had been a supervisor working with a cane
harvesting contractor, was on his way home from work, and was proceeding in a northerly direction while the canter, being driven by 36-year-old Dyndial, was reversing west out of a yard towards the public road. The motorcycle collided with the right-side rear of the canter, and the impact sent the cyclist flying. He landed on the western parapet a few feet away from the bike, and sustained injuries about his body. There was no damage to either the canter or the bike.
Rushed to the New Amsterdam Public Hospital, Singh succumbed to his injuries while receiving treatment.
Villagers could not say whether Singh was wearing a helmet at the time of the
accident.
Dyndial, meanwhile, was made to undergo a breathalyzer test, but no trace of alcohol was detected in his system.
