RANKS of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) are investigating a fatal accident which occurred at around 02:30 hours on Sunday on the Versailles Public Road, West Bank Demerara (WBD), in the vicinity of the health centre.
In a statement, the police identified the deceased as Regan Martin, who was riding a motor cycle at the time of the accident.
Reports indicate that the accident involved motorcycle #CL 4994, owned by Martin, a 27-year-old of Lot 532 First Avenue La Parfaite Harmonie, WBD, and motor car #PTT 2444, driven by 35-year-old Luis Alberto Moreno of Lot 39 A Independence Street, La Grange WBD.

Enquiries disclosed that the car was proceeding south along Versailles Public Road at a fast rate. It was stated that while in the vicinity of the health centre, Luis lost control and collided with Regan, who was proceeding north along the western side of the road.
As a result of the impact, Martin was flung off the motorcycle onto the grass parapet where he succumbed to his injuries.
The car ploughed through some bushes on the western parapet and ended up in the trench partially submerged. Luis then exited the vehicle and fled the scene. He subsequently turned himself in to the police accompanied by his lawyer.
He remains in custody assisting ranks with their investigation.
