A motorcyclist got badly injured following an accident on Perseverance Public Road, Essequibo Coast in Guyana, on Saturday night. Police told that the accident happened on the Perseverance Public Road Essequibo Coast involving motorcar PSS 7965 driven by 46-year-old Khamraj Bridge Mohan of Good Hope Essequibo Coast and motorcycle CK 4 owned and driven by Nearsh Seuttaran, 23-year-old of Abram Zuil, Essequibo Coast. Inquiries disclosed that the motorcar was proceeding south on the eastern driving lane of the said public road when it was alleged by the said motor car driver that motorcycle CK 4 was proceeding north allegedly at a fast rate of speed when it collided into the front part of the said motorcar. As a result, the cyclist received injuries on his body. He was taken to Suddie Public Hospital, where he was seen and examined by a doctor on duty and admitted as a patient. Guyana is recording a record high in road accidents; daily, people are getting wounded or losing their lives to the fatal road accidents caused by overspeeding. There are minimum overspeeding laws to protect these individuals, and traffic police barely keep an eye on those who drive at extreme speed. In just last one week, more than ten such accidents took place in the country, leaving people numb and demanding stricter traffic laws to save precious lives.
