A 47-year-old National Insurance Scheme employee was on Thursday freed of the charge of causing the death of 19-year-old motorcyclist, Ronaldo Jaundoo, who died during an accident at Barr and James Streets, Albouystown last November.
Dwayne Gonsalves was freed by Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court due to insufficient evidence. He was out on $600,000 bail during the trial.

Gonsalves was on trial for the offence which read that on November 3, 2017, he drove motor pickup GVV 8249 in a manner dangerous to the public, thereby causing the death of Jaundoo, called “Beetle.”

According to reports, on the day in question, the motor pick-up, driven by Gonsalves, was proceeding north on Barr Street, while motorcycle CH 9086, ridden by Jaundoo, was proceeding east on the northern side of James Street when they collided.
Jaundoo was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. A Breathalyser test was administered on the driver but no trace of alcohol was found.
