West Coast Demerara : An alleged speeding motorist had been taken into custody, following a fatal accident last night on Anna Catherina Public Road, West Coast Demerara (WCD), that resulted in the death of Winston Domingo, 34 years, a cane cutter, of Anna Catherina, WCD, who was proceeding on a bicycle in the direction of that of the vehicle.
According to a police report, motor car PVV 4420 driven by a 20 year, of Vergenoegen, East Bank Essequibo, was proceeding west along the southern driveway of the road, reportedly at a very fast rate, when its left side front collided with the rear of the victim’s bicycle.
As a result of the impact, the cyclist fell onto the car’s windscreen then onto the road surface whilst the bicycle broke into two parts. The victim was taken to the Leonora Cottage Hospital in an unconscious state and was pronounced dead on arrival; the body is presently at the Ezekiel’s Funeral Home awaiting a post-mortem examination.
A breathalyzer test was administered to the driver but no alcohol was found in his breath.
Investigations in progress.
