Brazilian dies in Central Rupununi accident
A mid-afternoon motorcycle collision on Monday, in Parikwainawa, a Central Rupununi location some 18 miles from Lethem, has resulted in the death of Jason Vieira, a 19-year-old Brazilian national.

Reports are that Vieira’s 150cc motorcycle collided head-on with a similar bike as he was transporting his wife Katherine Paul out of the South Rupununi area. Paul is said to have sustained severe injuries.
Frank Mark Gomes, the other motorist, related that the Brazilian was riding in the opposite direction and was coming towards him “at a speed”. The man claimed that he tried to avoid the accident but reflected that it was inevitable.
The impact reportedly caused Vieira to pitch off his motorcycle and land head-first on the ground, where the helmet that he had been wearing was shattered. The victim presumably broke his neck as a result of the fall and died on the spot.
Gomes, 27, a resident of Tabatinga, Central Rupununi, was transporting an associate, Dennis Winter, of Aishalton, South Rupununi, into South Central Rupununi, when the fatal accident occurred. Gomes suffered from trauma to the head and several injuries about the body, while his pillion rider escaped with minor injuries.
All four persons were transported to the Lethem hospital. The victim’s wife and Gomes were admitted and are still hospitalised.
