The police on the Esse-quibo Coast are conducting investigations into a fatal accident that occurred on the Columbia Public Road yesterday afternoon.
Dead is 21-year-old Hazrul Bacchus, also known as ‘Ling,’ of Lot 25 Three Friends, Essequibo Coast.
Sister of the dead man Faeeda Bacchus told Stabroek News that her brother was heading to work at the family’s restaurant in Affiance when the accident occurred around 2 pm. “Hazrul worked in the family business with my parents and he had just left home to go to work,” she said. “I was told that he was overtaking two cars and there was a plough on the right hand side of the road and he lost control of the bike and ran into the plough. The bike ended up in the trench and his left foot got severed.”
