A 35-year-old motorcyclist lost his life on Monday morning following a collision with a car along the Eversham Public Road, Corentyne, Berbice.

Dead is Edwin Hartman of Dukestown, Corriverton, who was riding motorcycle #CN 6524 at the time of the accident.

The incident occurred at around 07:15 hrs, and involved motorcar #PMM 9127, which was being driven by a 67-year-old man from Eversham Village.
According to reports from the Guyana Police Force, the car was proceeding north along the western drive lane at a normal rate when the driver allegedly pulled to the western side of the road and stopped.
