GOLD miner Suresh Khellowan, 22, of Good Hope, East Coast Demerara, died Sunday morning when he lost control of his CBR bike and slammed into a steel barrier at the Russian Embassy turn, Kitty Public Road, Georgetown.

The accident occurred around 03:00hrs. While a helmet was found at the scene, it is unclear whether Kellawan was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. Reports indicate that he was riding his bike at a fast rate and attempted to negotiate a turn on the Rupert Craig Highway and crashed into the steel barrier at the Russian Embassy turn.
Persons close to the man said that from time to time the young man would borrow the motorcycle to go and hang out with his friends.

Kellawan reportedly died on the spot as a result of the accident. His bike, which was badly mangled, was seen some distance from his lifeless body.
