A young overseas-based Guyanese man, who was on a visit to Guyana, died tragically on Monday afternoon in an accident along the Number 64 Public Road in Corentyne, Berbice.
The dead youth has been identified as 21-year-old Jagdeo Bhimsingh.

According to the Police, the young motorcyclist, who was unlicensed and was not wearing a helmet, was pitched onto the roadway and reportedly sustained multiple injuries to his body. He was rushed to the #75 Village Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The 60-year-old driver was taken into Police custody. A police report said a Breathalyzer test was administered to the elderly man and small traces of alcohol was found in his system.
The investigation into the tragic road accident is ongoing.
