Motorcyclist dies after riding into turning lorry

Another accident on the East Coast Demerara roadway has claimed the life of 32-year-old Curtly Christopher Cambridge of Aubrey Barker Road, South Ruimveldt, Georgetown.
He is alleged to have ridden his motorcycle into the path of a lorry on the railway embankment at Triumph, East Coast Demerara on Wednesday at about 1:15h.
At time of the accident, motor lorry GAB 8067, owned by Build Smart Construction, was being driven by a 25-year-old male resident of Diamond, East Bank Demerara.
He told investigators that he was proceeding west along the embankment road, and was in the process of turning north into Agriculture Road when he saw Cambridge on motorcycle CK 1975, proceeding east along the northern side of the road at a fast rate. As a result, the now dead man drove into the back of the lorry as it was turning.
The motorcyclist sustained head injuries as a result of the collision, and medical personnel in an ambulance service that was summoned pronounced him dead at the scene of the accident.
A breathalyzer test conducted on the lorry driver detected no trace of alcohol in his system. He, however, remains in custody as investigations continue. (G12)
