Pedal cyclist dies in W.C.B. accident
– Trinidadian in custody
A Trinidad and Tobago national has been detained following an accident which occurred Monday night on the Lovely Lass Public Road, West Coast Berbice (WCB), that resulted in the death of a 23-year-old pedal cyclist from Number 29 Village, WCB.
Investigations revealed that the cyclist, Keyfa Campbell, was proceeding west along the southern side of the road while motor pick-up # GPP 4166 driven by the 28-year-old Caribbean national, was proceeding in the same direction, from the rear. It is alleged that Campbell suddenly swerved right, into the path of the pick-up, causing the left front of the vehicle to collide with the cycle. Campbell fell onto the road.
The cyclist was picked up in an unconscious condition and rushed to the Fort Wellington Hospital. He was treated and then referred to the New Amsterdam Public Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries at 22:00hrs.
A breathalyzer test was administered to the driver, who has a local address at Eccles, East Bank Demerara. No trace of alcohol was detected. The driver remains in police custody assisting with the investigation.
A post mortem examination is expected to be conducted soon.
