A motorcyclist is in serious condition after he reportedly crashed into a minibus along the Lethem Public Road, Region Nine (Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo) on Wednesday.
The injured man has been identified as 27-year-old Kellon Arthur of Lethem Central, Rupununi. Based on information received, the accident occurred around 18:00h and involved a minibus bearing registration number BVV 5217 driven by a 28-year-old man and the motorcycle.
The minibus had been reportedly parked behind a truck which was parked on the side of the road when the driver attempted to make a U-turn, but failed to ensure the road was clear and drove into the path of the motorcycle.
