A 39-year-old man died on Tuesday afternoon after he lost control of the All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) he was riding at Eyelash Backdam, North West District (NWD), Region One (Barima Waini).
Dead: Devon Moralis
Dead is Devon Moralis, who is from Wauna, Region One. Police reported that he was riding an unregistered ATV at the time.
It was reported that at about 15:30h Moralis was riding alone en route to Providence Backdam NWD, when he lost control of the ATV while negotiating a left bend on the trail at a fast rate.
As a result, the ATV ended up on the southern side of the road and Moralis was flung to the northern side and remained motionless. Public-spirited persons alerted the Police, and ranks responded.
The ranks were accompanied by a doctor from the Matthew’s Ridge Public Hospital, who examined Moralis and pronounced him dead at the scene. The body was transported to the Port Kaituma Public Hospital’s Mortuary, awaiting a post-mortem examination. (G9)
