A 26-year-old biker, who sped past a line of vehicles and slammed into a crossing trailer, lost his life on Sunday night at Houston on the East Bank of Demerara.
The accident occurred at around 9:35pm. Police investigators have identified the dead biker as Domall Trim of Bel Air Village, Georgetown.
According to the statement from the Police, preliminary investigations have revealed that the Lorry driver was proceeding East on Rome Access Road to proceed further East across Mc Doom public road, and as the lorry approached Mc Doom public road, the traffic rank at the junction stopped all the vehicles that were proceeding South and North on both carriageways, giving the driver of the motor lorry directions to proceed East across the Mc Doom Public Road.
The Police said while the lorry was crossing the eastern carriageway, a group of motorcyclists were proceeding south on the eastern drive lane of the eastern carriageway and the motorcyclists pulled to the eastern side of the road, navigating alongside the stationary vehicles and started to proceed South at a fast rate, overtaking the line of traffic.
Trim’s motorcycle collided with the rear portion of the motor lorry, which caused him to fall onto the road surface and skid into the rear right-side wheel of the lorry.
As a result of the collision, the motorcyclist sustained injuries to his body, and was picked up in a semi-conscious condition and transported to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was seen and examined by a doctor on duty for multiple injuries to the body. He died while receiving treatment.
The entire incident was captured on surveillance video recordings in the area, and witnessed by a number of drivers and the Police rank who was directing traffic in the area at the time.
