Teen motorcyclist dies in Amelia’s Ward accident
Kaieteur News – A 17-year-old motorcyclist lost his life on Saturday after crashing into a car at the intersection of Amelia’s Ward Public Road and Toucan Drive, Linden, Region 10.
Dead, 17-year-old Stephen Burnett
The youth has been identified as Stephen Burnett of Central Amelia’s Ward, Linden. According to a police statement, the accident occurred around 14:00 hours. It involved motorcar PAC 9289, driven by a 31-year-old pregnant woman from Amelia’s Ward, and motorcycle CM 971, which was being ridden by Burnett.
The motorcar was proceeding west in the southern lane on Amelia’s Ward Public Road. As the vehicle approached the intersection, the driver activated her right indicator to signal that she was turning north onto Toucan Drive.
However, while in the process of turning, the teen motorcyclist who was proceeding in the same direction reportedly overtook a line of vehicular traffic and collided with the right-side front door, and onto the front windshield of the car.
