A MOTORCYCLIST tragically lost his life and two are nursing injuries following an accident on
Saturday along the Charity New Road, Region Two.

Dead is 27-year-old Daniel Gray of Somerset and Berks, Essequibo Coast. He was at the time riding motorcycle bearing registration number CP 1974.

The accident occurred around 15:20 hrs and it also involved motorcycle bearing registration CP 9109, driven by 31-year-old Alex Jaigopaul of Essequibo Coast, and motor car bearing registration number PAC 697, driven by 24-year-old Pastor Patrick Murray of Charity.

According to information, the motorcycles and car were proceeding east along the northern lane, with Murray’s car in front and the two motorcycles following side by side. Murray reportedly indicated he wanted to turn right into a Chinese supermarket but as he was turning, the motorcycles collided with the right side of his car.

The impact tossed the two motorcyclists into the air. They landed on the supermarket’s parapet.

They, along with Murray were rushed to the Oscar Joseph Charity Cottage Hospital, where Gray was pronounced dead on arrival.

Jaigopaul was admitted with multiple fractures to his left foot, while Murray sustained facial injuries. Both were later transferred to the Lima Regional Hospital for further treatment.

Police said investigations are ongoing.
