Motorcyclist killed in Mahaicony accident
Dead: 24-year-old Ivan Ethard
A 24-year-old construction worker of Cottage, Mahaicony became the country’s latest road fatality, yesterday.
According to reports, Ivan Ethard, of Lot 8 Cottage, Mahaicony, died around 9:00 hours yesterday while receiving medical attention at the Mahaicony Hospital. The man was struck off of his motorcycle around 8:30 hours at Fairfield, Mahaicony.
The dead man’s mother, Rita Bynoe, said that her son left their home for work as he would every morning.
She said that for the past two months her son had been riding his motorcycle to Melanie Damishana, where he works on a construction site.
“He left just after 8:00 and a few minutes later a neighbour called out and tell me that my son was involved in an accident,”.
Fighting to compose herself after viewing his remains at the Mahaicony Hospital mortuary, Ms. Bynoe said that she did not get to go to the scene of the accident but instead, she raced down to the hospital.
“When I reach at the hospital the nurses allowed me to go inside and see him and they told me that they were trying to stabilize him to take him to Georgetown Public Hospital,” the grieving woman added.
Unfortunately, before the man left for the city hospital he was pronounced dead. His mother said that she was informed by medical practitioners that her son suffered extensive head injuries.
Bynoe said that she is still at a loss to ascertain how her son died, as there are conflicting reports about how the accident occurred. All the woman said she was told was that a car was involved in the accident.
This publication was told that the driver of a car was taken into police custody to assist with investigations. Ethard’s remains have since been taken to the Lyken Funeral Home where it is awaiting a post mortem examination.
