(Kaieteur News) – A young motorcyclist lost his life on Sunday afternoon after he allegedly lost control of his motorcycle while riding on the Fyrish Access Road, Corentyne, Berbice.
Dead is Travis Joseph, a 28-year-old technician attached to the Guyana Power & Light (GPL). The incident occurred at about 4:10pm, police reports confirmed.
A cousin of the now dead man told this publication that based on information she received, the driver was not paying attention to the road, and ended up in the lane of Joseph, who then forcibly applied brakes and was flung forward. As he landed, the said vehicle reportedly ran over him.
Based on police information, the Courtland Village resident was on his motorcycle heading north along the western side of the roadway. Joseph was reportedly moving at a fast rate when he lost control of the motorcycle.
As a result, he was flung from the motorcycle and landed a short distance away on the grass parapet, where he sustained injuries to his head and body. He was picked up by public-spirited citizens while in a semi-conscious state. He was rushed to the Port Mourant Public Hospital, where he was seen and treated by the doctor on duty.
Subsequently, Joseph was referred to the New Amsterdam Public Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries while receiving medical attention. His body is presently at the hospital’s mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination.
Joseph leaves to mourn his four brothers and a lone sister.
Investigations are ongoing.
