Twenty-one-year-old Inshain Jameer of Tempie Village, West Coast Berbice died on Sunday from injuries he sustained the day before when he was hit from behind by a motorcar while sitting on his motorcycle alongside the road at Radboro, also on West Coast Berbice.The accident occurred around 18:30 hrs.

According to reports, the car was travelling at a fast rate west along the roadway on the southern carriageway when the collision occurred.

Jameer was flung into the bushes several feet away and succumbed to his injuries early Sunday morning.

A relative said the young man was riding past his farm at Radboro on his way to Tempie when he (Jameer) stopped to have a chat with him (relative).

Jameer, the relative said stopped his motorcycle and parked on the parapet.
It was while chatting the relative said he saw a white motor car approaching them in a very haphazard manner.

The relative said the vehicle was travelling so quickly towards them that he barely had time to shout a warning to Jameer.

“I was on my feet and so I could have jumped out of the way but he was astride the motorcycle. He barely had time to look back before the car connected with the back of his motorcycle,” the relative said.

The relative also related that the driver of the motorcar helped him to pick up the unconscious man and put him in a vehicle where he was rushed to the Fort Wellington Hospital for urgent medical attention.
“While helping me I notice that this man mouth (driver) was stink of rum,” the relative said.

The injured man was transferred from the Fort Wellington Hospital to the New Amsterdam Hospital, where he succumbed.
Jameer, popularly known as “Sugar”, was the only son of Mr and Mrs Inshain Jameer.
On Sunday, his parents, friends and relatives were in a state of shock at his sudden passing.

They said he was a willing young man who always undertakes tasks set by his parents, friends or neighbours in a cheerful and willing manner.

Jameer had left home to purchase mechanical spares for a vehicle under repairs at the time he met his death.

The driver of the motor car, who is said to be an engineer attached to the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) of Region Five, is a patient at the Fort Wellington Hospital. He will be asked to assist the police in their investigations into the fatal accident upon being discharged.
