Motorcyclist dies after dropping into pothole during high-speed Police chase

A motorcyclist who was being pursued by members of the Guyana Police Force lost his life on Sunday evening after he reportedly fell into a pothole and injured himself on the La Parfaite Harmonie public road, West Bank Demerara (WBD).

Based on reports received, 20-year-old Mahendra Deopaul of Lot 267 La Parfaite Harmonie, WBD was spotted by the Police driving motorcycle CK 5677 without wearing a safety helmet, and a Police mobile pickup approached him with its flashlight on.
As the ranks attempted to intercept the motorcycle, Deopaul drove away at a fast rate of speed in a bid to evade the Police.
The Police vehicle pursued him, and during the high-speed chase that ensued, Deopaul ended up dropping into a pothole that caused him to lose control of the bike. He reportedly fell on the roadway and sustained injuries to his face and body.
He was picked up in an unconscious state and taken to the West Demerara Regional Hospital, where he died while receiving medical attention.
