A 66-year-old motorist has been identified as the victim of a collision in Corentyne, Berbice, on Sunday evening.
Police are investigating the fatal accident which occurred at approximately 19:15 hours on Sunday evening, on the Number 64 Public Road, that resulted in the death of Jaggat Narine.

According to information from the police, their investigations indicate that Narine, a resident of the Number 64 Village, was riding his motorcycle #CH 7631, while David Rambasdeo, a 21-year-old of Johanna North Black Bush Polder, also in the Corentyne, was on a motorcycle for which the registration remains unknown.

Initial investigations into this case revealed that Rambasdeo was proceeding south along the eastern drive lane at rapid speed when Narine drove out from an access road and onto the main road, eventually colliding with Rambasdeo.

Consequentially, both motorists fell onto the road where they sustained injuries to their bodies. The 21-year-old was picked up in an unconscious state by public-spirited citizens and taken to the Skeldon Public Hospital, where he was seen and examined by a doctor on duty. Rambasdeo was treated and placed under observation at the hospital.

Meanwhile, Narine who was also taken in an unconscious state to the Skeldon Hospital, was examined and pronounced dead on arrival by a doctor on duty. The body is at the Hospital’s mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination, as investigations continue.
