Pedal cyclist crushed to death by truck at Ogle roundabout

A Guyana Police Force (GPF) statement says that it is investigating a fatal accident that occurred at about 13:39h Friday at the Ogle Roundabout, East Coast Demerara.
The accident involved motor lorry GAF 968, driven by Mr Fabian Rampersaud, age 32, and a pedal cyclist whose identity is still unknown.
Enquiries disclosed that the lorry was proceeding south along the eastern drive lane of Ogle public road, while the pedal cyclist was also proceeding south along the same lane.
As they approached the Ogle Roundabout, the left side of the lorry came into contact with the cyclist, causing him to lose control and fall onto the roadway. The left front tyre of the lorry then ran over the cyclist’s head.
As a result, he sustained severe injuries to the head and body.
The ambulance service was summoned, and the cyclist was pronounced dead on arrival. The body is at the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, awaiting a post-mortem examination.
The lorry driver is in police custody assisting with the investigation.
