Police are investigating a fatal accident that occurred around 15:20 hrs on Saturday along Charity New Road, Essequibo Coast, which claimed the life of a 27-year-old motorcyclist and left two others hospitalised.
Dead is Daniel Gray, a resident of Somerset and Berks, Essequibo Coast. He was riding motorcycle #CP 1974 at the time of the crash.
The accident also involved another motorcycle, #CP 9109, driven by 31-year-old Alex Jaigopaul of Essequibo Coast, and motor car #PAC 697, driven by 24-year-old Patrick Murray, a Pastor from Charity.
According to investigators, all three vehicles were travelling east along the northern lane, with the car in front and the two motorcycles following side by side. Murray told police he had indicated to make a right turn into a Chinese supermarket when the motorcycles collided with the right side of his vehicle.
The impact flung both riders into the air, causing them to land on the parapet of the supermarket.
They were rushed, along with Murray, to the Oscar Joseph Charity Cottage Hospital, where they were examined by Dr. Mahase. Gray was pronounced dead on arrival.
Jaigopaul was admitted with multiple fractures to his left foot, while Murray sustained facial injuries. Both were later transferred to the Lima Regional Hospital for further treatment.
Police said investigations are ongoing.
