Feb 24, 2026 News

(Kaieteur News) – Police are probing a deadly crash on Sunday, February 22, 2026, around 8:00 PM on the Lima Sands Access Road, Essequibo Coast. The collision involved motor car PAD 3341, driven by a 44-year-old man from Cotton Field, and an unregistered motorcycle ridden by 17-year-old Sudesh Ram John of Lima Sands, who died at the scene, along with a 21-year-old pillion passenger who was seriously injured. Initial reports indicate both vehicles were traveling in opposite directions when they collided, throwing the motorcycle riders onto the road.

Police said in a statement that initial enquiries revealed that motor car PAD 3341 was proceeding south along the said access road, while the unregistered motorcycle was proceeding north when the two vehicles collided. As a result of the collision, the motorcyclist and pillion rider were thrown onto the road surface, where they sustained injuries about their bodies.

They were assisted by public-spirited citizens and transported to the Lima Regional Hospital, where the motorcyclist was pronounced dead on arrival by a doctor on duty. The pillion rider was seen and examined and remains hospitalised.

A breathalyser test conducted on the driver of the motor car returned readings of 67, 75, and 73 micrograms respectively which is above the legal limit of 35 micrograms.

The driver of the motor car is presently in police custody assisting with investigations.

The body is at the Suddie Hospital Mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination.

Investigations are ongoing.
