Meanwhile, the driver of the minibus that reportedly struck Singh remains on station bail.

Stabroek News had previously reported that Singh, 62, of Industry, was reportedly proceeding on his motorcycle, CH 5818, north along the University of Guyana (UG) Road and across the highway when the collision occurred.

Singh, who was pitched several feet away, was subsequently rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. A post-mortem examination has ruled that he died due to a broken neck and fractured skull.

The driver of the bus was taken into custody by police, who later released him on station bail.

The accident occurred around 7.05 am as Singh was reportedly going to a nearby gas station to refill his bike, before returning home from a night of work,
