Kaieteur News – A three-way collision which occurred on Tuesday at Four Miles, Potaro Road, Bartica, Region Seven, leaving one hospitalized, is being blamed on the lights of the mayor’s pick-up.
Hospitalized is Marti Subratti, 19, a motorcyclist of Carabese Hill, Bartica.
Also involved in the crash are the Mayor of Bartica, Gifford Marshall, 40, and Rudolph Marshall, 38, of Five Miles Housing Scheme, Bartica.
According to a police report, the serious accident took place at around 18:20hrs.
Investigators were told that at the time of the incident, Marshall was driving his SUV, PTT 8073, in the southern direction along the eastern side of the Four Miles, Potaro Road.
Marshall claimed that he was blinded by the lights of the Mayor’s pick-up PWW 7126, which was travelling in the opposite direction. The lights, Marshall told police, caused him to slow down immediately.
This resulted in the motorcyclist, Subratti, who was riding behind him, colliding with his jeep.
The motorcyclist then lost control of his bike and further crashed into the right side of the mayor’s pick-up.
Surbratti was thrown onto the road and received multiple injuries to his body.
Marshall picked him-up placed him in his jeep and took him to the Bartica Regional Hospital where he was treated and admitted.
Marshall and the mayor were given a breathalyzer test, which they passed. They were then released on self-bail as investigations continue.
