A Lance Corporal from the Guyana Defence Force died last night when his motorcycle slammed into the back of a Toyota Prado on the Tuschen Public Road, West Coast Demerara.
Dead is 27-year-old Vijai Singh of Ocean View, Uitvlugt, West Coast Demerara.
According to reports reaching this newspaper, the accident occurred just after 7pm.
Singh was riding a CBR motorbike heading east on the public road while a Prado was turning into the Double Day International Hotel.
It is believed that he misjudged the speed of the Prado when he collided with the vehicle’s back bumper, lost control and slammed into a motorcar heading west on the road.
Singh was said to have been wearing a helmet which was broken from the impact. A vehicle from the hotel reportedly rushed the man to the Leonora Cottage Hospital where he succumbed a few hours later to head injuries sustained from the accident.
