Authorities are looking into a tragic accident that occurred shortly before midnight on Friday, June 27, along the Le Ressouvenir Public Road in East Coast Demerara (ECD), resulting in the death of 71-year-old Ramroop Sadaram, a resident of Lot 273 Success Housing Scheme.
The accident took place around 11:45 p.m. and involved a car, a motorcycle, and the pedestrian. Reports indicate that motorcar PAB 9943 was operated by a 48-year-old businessman from Good Hope, ECD, while the motorcycle CN 8838 was ridden by a 27-year-old construction worker from Bachelor’s Adventure, ECD.
Initial findings suggest that the motorcar was traveling east in the northern lane when the driver heard a loud noise. Upon checking his wing mirror, he felt a jolt at both the front and rear of his vehicle. After stopping, he discovered Mr. Sadaram and the motorcyclist injured on the roadway.
Emergency Medical Technicians were dispatched to the scene, where they pronounced Sadaram deceased. The motorcyclist, who was conscious, was taken to Georgetown Public Hospital for medical attention. The car driver is currently in police custody, cooperating with the investigation, and underwent a breathalyzer test, which returned low alcohol levels.
