A THIRTY-SIX-YEAR-OLD motorcyclist, Navindra Naraiyan, of Bamboo Dam, Sparta Village, was killed Christmas Eve Day, on the La Belle Alliance Public Road, Essequibo Coast, after the 1000 CBR he was riding collided with a speeding car that was turning off into a street.
According to reports, the rider, who was the father of a one-year-old child, had been proceeding to Anna Regina when the collision occurred.
Eyewitness reports said Naraiyan was riding very close behind the motor vehicle and tried to overtake it but crashed after the driver made a sudden right turn to a sand and loam bridge.
The CBR folded on impact and plunged with the car into a nearby trench. The badly injured rider was hurled into the air and landed on the parapet with blood spurting from his mouth, ears and head.
