Home News Policeman injured after colliding with truck
A Police Constable is hospitalised with a fractured leg after he swerved his motorcycle from hitting a truck but ended up colliding with a car on the Corentyne Public Road, Region Six.
The incident occurred sometime around 09:15h on Friday on the Chesney Public Road, Corentyne, Berbice. The injured cop has been identified as Constable Gavin Seecharan, 27, of Angoy’s Avenue, New Amsterdam.
Police reports revealed that Seecharan was proceeding east along the northern drive lane at a fast rate of speed, while a truck was heading in the opposite direction ahead of a hire car.
According to reports, the truck suddenly turned right onto the northern drive lane into the path of the motorcyclist. As a result, the policeman swerved to avoid a collision but instead, he collided with the front right-side portion of a hire car which was proceeding west.
As a result of the collision, the motorcyclist fell onto the road’s surface and sustained injuries to his body. He was picked up in a conscious condition by both drivers and taken to New Amsterdam Public Hospital where he was seen and examined by a doctor on duty who treated him for a fractured left leg and sent him away at about 13:10h.
About 15:40h, he subsequently returned to the said hospital complaining of pains about his body and was further examined and admitted a patient in a stable condition.
Both drivers were arrested as investigations continue.
