The death toll on Guyana’s roadways has risen once more, with the most recent death of a motorcyclist who lost control and slammed into a van along Garnett Street, Kitty, Georgetown, on Sunday.
The dead man has been identified as 30-year-old Albert Alwin Headley of Henry Street Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown,
Police have since confirmed that the accident occurred at about 06:20h and involved a motorcycle CM 462 that was being ridden by Headley and a van with registration plates GAE 6248.
Investigations thus far revealed that Headley was proceeding west along Garnett Street at a fast rate and while in the vicinity of Red Bar, he lost control, thus resulting in the front portion of the motorcycle colliding with the right-side rear portion of the van, which was parked.
As a result of the collision, Headley was flung some distance into the air and then onto the road, where he received injuries to his head and body.
The injured man was picked up by Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Investigations are continuing.
