21-yr-old motorcyclist hospitalized after crashing into cow

Jul 22, 2010 News

Marcus James, 21, of Tucber Park, is in a critical condition at the New Amsterdam Hospital following an accident with a cow in the vicinity of Main and Alexander Streets, New Amsterdam around 23:30 hrs.
Reports reaching Kaieteur News stated that, James who is an unlicensed rider, was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.
He was said to be traveling at a fast rate of speed and was suspected to be under the influence of alcohol when his motor cycle CE6800 collided with the cow which was lying on the road.
He was picked up in an unconscious state and rushed to the New Amsterdam hospital; where he continues to slip in and out of consciousness.
Information received states that the youngster sustained head injuries. Efforts were being made to transfer him to the Georgetown Public Hospital
Incidentally, James is a good friend of Rondel Simmonds, the 22-year-old New Amsterdam Technical Institute (NATI) student who was killed in May after he also rode into a cow on the New Amsterdam Public Road.
Ironically it was James whom Simmonds had dropped home and was heading to his home when he crashed into the animal.
Also like James, Simmonds  was not licensed and was not wearing a helmet. And the bike that James was riding was similar to the one that Simmonds crashed with.
The owner of the cow is in custody as investigation continue
