A 21-year-old motorcyclist died on the Friendship Railway Embankment, East Coast Demerara (ECD), following a collision, Thursday night, involving three motorcycles.
Dead is Joshua Persaud, of lot 73 Strathspey, ECD.

Reports indicated that a 24-year-old female police constable, riding motorcycle CJ 3521, was proceeding east along the northern side of the Friendship Railway Embankment, ECD, when she stopped and put on her right-side trafficator to turn south into Friendship Access Road.

Before turning, she allegedly felt an impact on the rear of the motor cycle which caused her to fall on to the roadway.
Upon getting up, she observed a red motor cycle with registration CF 2481 lying on the roadway, along with a black motor cycle with registration CG 9899 next to it and Persaud was also seen lying in an unconscious condition on the roadway.

He was subsequently picked up by public-spirited persons and placed into a vehicle and transported to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation where he was seen and examined by a doctor and admitted as a patient suffering from head injuries.

He died Thursday evening.
When contacted, police said another motorcyclist was seen running away from the scene after the accident. A breathalyzer test was conducted on the female motorcyclist which indicated that she was not intoxicated. Police continue their investigations into the incident.
