Abayomi Hart, a 40-year-old technician, has been granted bail more than a year after being involved in a fatal collision at the intersection of North Road and Camp Street, Georgetown.

The accident, which occurred on September 7, 2023, resulted in the death of 30-year-old motorcyclist Loyden Alexander Britton of Bagotstown, East Bank Demerara (EBD).
The prosecution did not object to bail, and Magistrate Azore granted Hart bail in the sum of $250,000. Hart’s next court appearance is scheduled for February 7, 2025.

Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore

After over a year of delays, Hart appeared before Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Friday. He was formally charged with causing death by dangerous driving. Hart, a resident of Farm, EBD, pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Representing himself in court, he listened as Magistrate Azore questioned the delay in bringing the case forward. A police investigator explained that the matter had been sent to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for advice and was only recently returned.

This led to Hart being contacted on December 31, 2024. According to police reports, Britton was riding motorcycle CJ 4079 west along North Road when he failed to stop at a red light, colliding with Hart’s motorcar, PNN 7200, which was travelling south on Camp Street. The impact threw Britton a significant distance, causing severe head and body injuries. He was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation but succumbed to his injuries while receiving treatment.
