Biker critical after Bel Air crash

Feb 27, 2013 News

A 40-year-old motorcyclist was in a critical condition yesterday after slamming into a car in the vicinity of Bel Air, East Coast Demerara, at the Railway Embankment and Conversation Tree. The accident occurred at around 18:30 hrs.
Curtis George, of Newtown, was allegedly riding his Honda CBR at a rapid rate and was reportedly not wearing a helmet when he crashed into a car, PPP 4786, which was being driven by a female.
The woman told Kaieteur News that she was heading south along Conversation Tree road and another driver had given her ‘the okay’ to cross the Railway Embankment. However, just as she was about to proceed, George, who was heading east along the Embankment, slammed into the side of her car. She alleged that he was speeding.
George was picked up in an unconscious condition and rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC). He had still not recovered consciousness.
The driver was questioned at the Kitty Police Station but it is unclear if she was detained.
Speaking to Kaieteur News at the GPHC last night, George’s wife said that she  last spoke to him at around 17:00 hrs . The distraught woman said that she was driving home when she received a text message from her husband’s mobile phone. The individual sending the message identified himself as a police officer and requested that the wife head for the hospital.
She said that hospital staffers told her that her husband was in a critical condition and that they have to conduct a series of tests to ascertain the full extent of his injuries.
