According to the Guyana Times, a young man died and a teenager was injured when the motorcycle they were riding crashed into a concrete bridge situated along the Pomona Public Road in the Essequibo Coast during the early morning hours of Monday.

The deceased has been identified as Tieaveari Goddette, who was 20 years old and from Spring Garden, Essequibo Coast. The pillion rider, who is 19 years old and from Fairfield, Essequibo Coast, is currently hospitalized.

Reports indicate that the motorcycle, identified as CS 3309, which the teenager was operating, was traveling along the Pomona Public Road at an alleged high rate of speed.
