Essequibo motorcyclist battles for life
Motorcyclist Asif Mohamed was said to be in a serious condition, one day after he was involved in an accident with a minibus. The accident occurred at Lima on the Essequibo Coast Sunday evening. 
Mohamed, a report said, was returning to his Henrietta residence, with a pillion rider called ‘Brush’ when he collided with the minibus.
Mohamed and his pillion rider, the report added, were proceeding south on the public road while the minibus, BNN 195, was heading north.
The motorcyclist was transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital where doctors were fighting to save his life. The pillion rider, reports said, sustained a broken leg.
Mohamed, who was picked up by residents of Lima moments after he was hit, sustained severe injuries about his body, eyes and throat. He also sustained broken arms and legs.
While traffic officers have since impounded the minibus, the driver was placed into custody. Another report is that the driver of the minibus was returning from a trip to one of the popular lakes in Essequibo and was said to have attempted to overtake a car and as a result, collided with Mohamed.
The minibus has shown signs of damage to the right side of the front of the vehicle, while Mohamed’s cycle was extensively damaged.
