Teens, 1 other injured in Bartica motorcycle collision

Two teens and another man are now nursing injuries about their bodies following a motorcycle collision on Sunday along Fifth Avenue and Third Street Bartica, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni).
The injured teens were identified as Ransford Williams, 16, and Jadon Joseph, 15, both of Second Avenue Bartica while the third person is Mark Griffith, 28, of Third Avenue Bartica.
Based on reports received, Williams was riding an unregistered motorcycle and was at the time carrying Joseph as the pillion rider.
They were reportedly proceeding along Third Avenue while another motorcycle bearing registration number CJ 3669 ridden by Griffith was proceeding along Fifth Avenue.
However, Griffith reportedly failed to conform to a stop sign and as a result, he collided with the two teenagers. Due to the impact, the three men fell onto the road’s surface and sustained injuries about their bodies.
They were all picked up and taken to the Bartica Regional Hospital where they were treated and admitted.
Griffith and Joseph are suffering from lacerations and trauma to their heads while Williams was referred to the Georgetown Public Hospital suffering from haemo tumour (haemangioma) to the head and a broken left leg.
An investigation is currently underway.
