Pensioner injured in 2-vehicle collision

A pensioner is now suffering a fractured left leg after the motorcycle he was driving collided with a motorcar along the Zeeburg Public Road, West Coast Demerara (WCD), on Tuesday.
The injured man is 65-year-old Desmond Forde of North East Stewartville Housing Scheme, WCD.
Based on information received, motorcar PXX 8833, driven by a 23-year-old man of Tuschen Railway Embankment, East Bank Essequibo (EBE), was proceeding along the main access road when it suddenly made a right turn and into the path of the motorcycle, which was behind it.
As a result, the right front portion of the motorcar collided with the front of the motorcycle, causing the motorcyclist to fall onto the roadway.
He was picked up in a conscious state by public-spirited persons and taken to the Leonora Cottage Hospital, where he was examined and treated for the fractured left leg. He was subsequently admitted a patient.
However, the driver of the motorcar has been arrested and taken to the Leonora Police Station, where he has been placed in custody. A breathalyzer test conducted on him indicated there were no traces of alcohol in his system. Investigations are ongoing.
