A 24-year-old pillion rider is now dead and the motorbiker is hospitalised, after the bike on which they were travelling was involved in an accident along the 111 Miles Mahdia, Potaro Road early yesterday morning.
Dead is Abadicy Klass, a mother of one of Lot 2 Norton Street, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown. The motorcyclist, who has been identified as Osafa Bess, a 26-year-old miner, sustained a fractured hand and abrasions about his body.
Information revealed that Klass only travelled to Mahdia on Sunday to meet Bess, the father of her child.
They were both rushed to the Mahdia Hospital by public-spirited citizens, where Klass was pronounced dead on arrival and Bess was admitted as a patient.
The accident occurred around 6 am.
Reports are that Bess was proceeding north along the western side of the road on motorcycle CH 3715, when he lost control while approaching a right bend.
As a result, both he and Klass were flung onto the roadway.
At the time of the accident, Bess was said to be speeding. Neither he nor Klass was wearing a safety helmet.
