A motorcyclist from the mining town of Linden died on the spot last night when he crashed into the back of a truck on the Soesdyke/Linden Highway in the vicinity of Kara Kara.
The dead man has been identified as auto salesman, Lloyd Smith, also known as ‘Junior Street Boy’, who is believed to be in his early twenties.
According to reports, Smith had overtaken a car and slammed into the back of a lumber truck which was travelling in the same direction.
The impact hurled him from the bike and onto the road.
Relatives and friends who later got news of the tragedy screamed in anguish when they arrived on the scene and saw the body of the father of one child sprawled on the roadway.
Kaieteur News understands that Smith had acquired the Kawasaki motorcycle only a few days ago.
