Months after he was involved in a serious motorcycle accident, a 19-year-old pillion rider lost his life yesterday afternoon after he was reportedly crushed by a fuel truck along the Sisters Village, WBD Public Road.
Dead is John Walcott popularly known as “Redman”, a father of one of Lot 3663 Westminster, WBD.
While details surrounding the accident which occurred around 1.15 pm remain sketchy, Stabroek News understands that Walcott was the pillion rider on a motorcycle when he met his demise.
Reports are that as the motorcycle was negotiating a turn at the Sisters Villager Public Road, allegedly at a fast rate, the rider lost control resulting in the motorcycle skidding.
As a result, Walcott fell onto the road and his head was crushed by an oncoming fuel truck, GJJ 3746.
