THE cyclist who was killed in an accident Wednesday last on the Inner Bagotville, Canal Number 1, West Bank Demerara Public Road is yet to be identified, police said.

Reports indicate that a minibus bearing registration number BKK 9004, overtook another vehicle and slammed into him on Inner Bagotville Public Road. The mangled body of the male East Indian was retrieved several feet away and was taken to the West Demerara Regional Hospital by a public-spirited citizen. The accident occurred at 19:30hrs.

One resident in the area had said that he heard a loud sound but thought it was a minibus that fell into a pothole, but upon enquiry he discovered it was a collision between a man on a BMX bicycle and a Route 31 minibus.
