Sparendaam man hospitalised following ECD collision

Twenty-six-year-old motorcyclist Timothy Marshall of Sparendaam, ECD was involved in a vehicular accident with a motorcar at Ogle, East Coast Demerara on Sunday shortly after 1:00h; and had to be rushed to a city hospital, where doctors immediately performed surgery on him for the injuries he sustained in that encounter.

Guyana Times was told the preliminary investigations revealed that motorcar PLL 7939, being driven by one “Franklin”, a 34-year-old resident of Ruimveldt, Georgetown, was proceeding in a westerly direction along the southern side of the southern carriageway of the ECD highway when motorcycle CG 7393, being driven by Timothy Marshall, allegedly drove out of a yard and turned east.

In so doing, the motorcycle hit the left front section of the car, and Marshall fell on the road surface. Public spirited citizens picked up Marshall in an unconscious state and rushed him to a city hospital, and the Police were on the scene moments afterwards.

At the hospital, Marshall was examined and was admitted to the male surgical ward, while the driver was taken into police custody to assist with the investigations.

Guyana Times understands that Marshall’s condition is regarded as seriously injured.
