A 33-year-old motorcyclist, Ryan Jordan, lost his life in a fatal collision on Friday night. The accident occurred around 20:30h on the main access road at Cummings Lodge, Greater Georgetown, and involved a blue and black motorcycle, CG 666 and a red motorcar, PMM 3148.
The driver of the motorcar fled the scene, leaving behind 41-year-old passenger Ronny Rueda, a Cuban national, who sustained serious injuries.
According to police reports, the motorcar was traveling south at high speed along the eastern lane of the Cummings Lodge main road, while Jordan was heading north on the western lane. While in the vicinity of 7th and 8th Field, Cummings Lodge, the car suddenly swerved westward into the path of the motorcycle, resulting in a violent collision.
Dead: Ryan Jordan
The impact propelled both Jordan and his motorcycle into the air before they landed on the western grass parapet. Jordan, a resident of Lot 62, Third Field, Cummings Lodge, sustained critical injuries.
Emergency medical services were summoned to the scene, where a doctor pronounced Jordan dead. His body was later transported to the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, where it awaits a post-mortem examination.
Robbed
Meanwhile, Ronny Rueda, the passenger of the motorcar, told police that he and the driver exited the vehicle after the accident in an attempt to assist the injured motorcyclist. However, they were reportedly confronted by individuals from the area.
Rueda alleged that the driver fled the scene to avoid further confrontation, leaving him behind. He was assaulted by several individuals and robbed of his wallet and other valuables.
Rueda sustained multiple injuries, including a fractured skull, and was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) by ambulance. He is currently hospitalised in a stable condition.
Police have launched an investigation as they search for the driver. (G9)
