Motorcyclist injured after slamming into pick-up

A speeding motorcyclist is now nursing a broken right leg after he collided with a pick-up while overtaking another motorcyclist on Monday afternoon.
Injured is Hasif Melville of Christianburg, Blueberry Hill, Linden, Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice). The accident occurred around 14:45h along the Kurubrang Trail, Potaro River, Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni).
Reports are that motor vehicle GNN 6425, which was driven by a resident of Byderabo Road, Bartica, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni), was proceeding north along the western side of the Kurubrang Trail while Melville, the owner of motorcycle CJ 1834, was said to be proceeding south along the eastern side of the same trail at a fast pace.
It is alleged that the motorcyclist overtook another motorcyclist who was proceeding in the same direction.
However, the area at which Melville decided to overtake the other motorcyclist was around a turn which resulted in him running into the right side of the pick-up.
The impact caused Melville to get tossed off his motorcycle, onto the road where he sustained injuries about his body.
The driver of the pick-up went to Melville’s assistance and rushed him to the Troy Resources Medical Centre, where he was examined by a doctor and was later transferred to the Bartica Regional Hospital.
He was subsequently admitted.
The matter was reported to the Police, and the driver of the pick-up was currently in custody assisting with the investigation.
