Days after he was involved in an accident along the Sparendaam Public Road, East Coast Demerara (ECD), a motorcyclist has succumbed to his injuries while being treated in hospital.
The dead man has been identified as 32-year-old Steven Kumar of Block 12, Non Pareil, ECD.
Reports indicate that on the day in question, at about 2:30h, a motor car bearing registration number PAB 2495, driven by Adrian Evans, was proceeding along the roadway when it made a right turn and collided with Kumar, who was driving motorcycle CP 5910.
Due to the impact, Kumar fell onto the roadway, sustaining multiple injuries, including lacerations and a broken right leg. He was picked up in an unconscious state and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was admitted.
Nevertheless, he succumbed to his injuries on Tuesday while being a patient in the Intensive Care Unit. At the time of the accident, Evans was reportedly under the influence of alcohol.
However, he was charged on Wednesday with causing death by dangerous driving and prohibited tinted glass. He appeared before Magistrate Clive Nurse at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court and was not required to plead to the causing death charge, while he pleaded not guilty to the prohibition of tinted glass.
He was granted $600,000 bail on the causing death charge and $25,000 bail on the prohibition of tinted glass charge. He will make his next court appearance on December 23, 2025.
