Cyclist crushed to death at Ogle roundabout
Kaieteur News – A cyclist, whose identity is unknown, on Friday afternoon, was crushed to death at the Ogle Roundabout, East Coast Demerara (ECD).
According to police, the accident occurred at about 13:39h and involved a truck bearing registration number GAF 968 which was driven by 32-year-old Fabian Rampersaud and the cyclist.
“Enquiries disclosed that the lorry was proceeding south along the eastern drive lane of Ogle public road, while the pedal cyclist was also proceeding south along the same lane. As they approached the Ogle Roundabout, the left side of the lorry came into contact with the cyclist, causing him to lose control and fall onto the roadway. The left front tyre of the lorry then ran over the cyclist’s head,” police said.
An ambulance was summoned and the cyclist was pronounced dead. The deceased’s body was taken to the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home where it awaits a post-mortem examination.
Rampersaud is in police custody assisting with the investigation.
