Unidentified pedal cyclist dies after being struck by motorcar

A yet-to-be-identified pedal cyclist lost his life on Thursday after he was struck down by a motorcar along the Blankenburg Public Road, West Coast Demerara (WCD).
Preliminary investigations revealed that the accident involved a motorcar bearing registration number PNN 289, which was at the time being driven by a 28-year-old male from Parika, East Bank Essequibo (EBE), and the pedal cyclist.
Police disclosed that the motorcar was driving along the roadway when the pedal cyclist allegedly rode across the road, thus resulting in a collision. As a result, the pedal cyclist fell onto the roadway and sustained injuries about his body.
He was picked up in an unconscious state by the driver of the motorcar and taken to the Leonora Cottage Hospital, where he was treated and admitted but later succumbed to his injuries.
The body was taken to the Ezekiel Funeral Home, awaiting identification as investigations continue.
