An accident along the Rupert Craig Highway, East Coast Demerara (ECD), in the vicinity of Pump Station Road, involving two motorcars and a motorcycle, has left 45-year-old Jomo Peters of Haslington New Scheme, ECD, dead.
The accident involved a motorcar bearing registration number PYY 4296, which was at the time being driven by a 21-year-old female; motorcar PAE 9879, driven by a 28-year-old female; and a motorcycle, CR 2701, driven by Peters.
Preliminary investigations revealed that Peters was proceeding along the Rupert Craig Highway, allegedly at a fast rate and without wearing a safety helmet. In the process of overtaking a line of traffic, the left side handlebar of his motorcycle came into contact with the front left side and rear-view mirror of motorcar PYY 4296.
As a result, he lost control and further collided with the left front portion of motorcar PAE 9879, causing him to be flung off the motorcycle and land onto the median, where he sustained multiple injuries to his head and body.
Emergency medical technicians were summoned to the scene, and after attending to Peters, they pronounced him dead. Breathalyser tests were administered on both drivers, but there were no traces of alcohol in their systems.
They remain in custody pending further investigations.
