Motorcyclist dies after slamming into sand truck
Leroy Adams, 22, of Little Red Village, Sandpit on the Essequibo Coast, died on the spot after he reportedly slammed into an oncoming sand truck with his motorcycle on the Cullen Public Road, yesterday afternoon.
Adams was at the time towing Leandra Gudge, who sustained a broken leg and is presently a patient at the Suddie Public Hospital.
According to police information, Adams was proceeding in a northerly direction on motorcycle CC 5265, when he collided with a truck GLL 4915.
Adams sustained severe head injuries and his skull was cracked open exposing a part of his brain, his mother Radha Adams tearfully related.
Adams said she and her daughter were standing on the Land Of Plenty Public Road moments after her son and Gudge passed them.
The woman explained that she was subsequently told by a driver that her son was involved in an accident but it was not too serious. She was to subsequently learn of his tragic demise.
Adams worked in the interior and had recently purchased the motorcycle he was riding at the time of his death.
His mother related that she had openly expressed her apprehension about him using the motorcycle.
“I can’t believe this driver killed my son. Why it had to be my son? I was on the road. Why the driver didn’t hit me and leave my son?” Adams tearfully lamented.
