A 42-year-old man of Section B Nabaclis, East Coast Demerara (ECD), lost his life in a fatal collision on the Enmore Public Road, East Coast Demerara.
Dead is Joshua Savory, a construction worker.
Reports are that the accident occurred at about 23:25h on Saturday.
Guyana Times was informed that Savory was on motorcycle CL 7067, heading east along the northern side of Enmore Public Road, ECD, while motor car PAF 3878, driven by a miner from Devonshire Castle, Essequibo Coast, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam) was stationary, facing east along the same side of the road.
It was revealed that the motor car drove off from where it was parked, and executed a turn from north to south across the road. Unable to evade the manoeuvre, Savory lost control, leading to a collision with the right front door of the car.
The impact resulted in Savory being thrown onto the road, sustaining injuries to his forehead and various parts of his body.
Despite the prompt arrival of an ambulance, a doctor at the scene pronounced him dead. The body was subsequently transported to Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, where it awaits a post-mortem examination.
The driver of the motor car was subjected to alcohol testing. There were no traces of alcohol in his breath, however, he was taken into custody to assist with ongoing investigations.
Meanwhile, in an interview with one of Savory’s sisters, she said that her brother’s death has left their family shaken, and they are trying to cope with their loss.
“We are trying to cope…I just want justice for my brother,” the woman who asked that her name not be published said. (G9)
