TWO motorcyclists crashed into each other in a head on collision at Rupunau Church yard located in South Central Rupununi, Region Nine, on Saturday, resulting in the death of a 31-year-old.

Dead is Ben Aguilar of Rupunau Village South Central Rupununi. The other motorcyclist was identified as 25-year-old Baldwin Wilson of Rupunau village South Central Rupununi.
Reports indicate that Baldwin Wilson and Aguilar were riding separate motor cycles at a fast rate of speed in the Rupunau Church yard and collided head-on in the same compound. As a result of the collision both riders were thrown onto the ground and sustained injuries about their bodies.

Wilson was placed in a vehicle and taken to Lethem Regional Hospital where he was seen and examined by a doctor on duty and admitted as a patient while Ben Aguilar, who was presumed dead by family members, was taken home to be buried.

When police subsequently visited the scene, they were informed that Aguilar was already buried in a wooden box. Police subsequently exhumed the body and transported it to the Lethem Regional Hospital, pending an autopsy.
