FISHERMAN Chetram Deonarine of Kilcoy/Chesney Village, Corentyne was reportedly bicycling along the village public road, at about 11:00 hrs on Friday 13th last, when he headed into the path of motor car PSS 1636 driven by 24-year-old Javid Balgobin, an electrician of Queenstown, Corriverton, and sustained injuries about the body.The 49-year-old was rushed in an unconscious state to the New Amsterdam Hospital, but after being examined by a doctor, was transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital.

His bicycle and the motorcar PSS 1636 remain lodged at Albion Police Station compound, while the driver is in police custody.

Reports are that a canter truck which was ahead of Balgobin’s vehicle pulled on the southern side of the road and the cyclist Deonarine emerged at that instance and rode across the thoroughfare and into the path of the overtaking car.

Despite his best efforts, Balgobin reportedly detailed, he collided with the rear of the bicycle, causing the cyclist to fall onto the roadway and receive serious injuries to the head and other parts of the body.

Police are investigating the incident.
