A Timehri motorcyclist is now dead after he collided with a minibus and was then struck down by another along the Soesdyke Public Road, East Bank Demerara (EBD) on Sunday night.
Dead is Collin Bourne, 22, who was a resident of Lot 91 Timehri Prison Area, EBD.
The accident occurred around 10.15.
Bourne was subsequently picked up in an unconscious condition and taken to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The drivers of the two minibuses involved in the fatal accident, PHH 3467 and BVV 5802, were taken into custody and are said to be assisting the police with investigations.
They were both subjected to breathalyser tests, which determined that the driver of PHH 3467 was above the legal breath alcohol limit, the police said.
The police, in a press statement yesterday, said investigations revealed that at the time of the accident, minibus PHH 3467 was proceeding south along the eastern carriageway of the road, reportedly at a fast rate of speed, while minibus BVV 5802 and Bourne were proceeding in the opposite direction.
Bourne reportedly overtook BVV 5802 and while on the eastern carriageway he collided with PHH 3467, the statement noted.
As a result of the impact, Bourne fell onto the roadway and into the path of minibus BVV 5802, which then struck him.
