A 22-year-old of Eversham Village, Corentyne, succumbed to his injuries on Tuesday at the Georgetown Public Hospital, after he was involved in an accident on Sunday along the Bush Lot Village, Corentyne, public road.
The accident occurred sometime between 9 pm and 10 pm on Sunday.
Dead is Nevon Abdel Steele, 22, a linesman with the Guyana Water Inc and a father of two.
According to information gathered, Steele was proceeding west along the public road on his motorcycle when the car which was proceeding directly in front of him in the same lane suddenly swerved to avoid a dog, forcing Steele to swerve also. As a result, he ended up in the opposite lane and was struck by an oncoming car.
He was rushed to the Port Mourant Hospital in an unconscious state, after which he was transferred to the New Amsterdam Public Hospital and then to the Georgetown Public Hospital. A close relative said that he sustained severe head injuries which led to uncontrollable bleeding and swelling in his brain. The relative also disclosed that Steele never regained consciousness.
Steele was described as a kind person. He was residing with his cousin who had been his guardian since the age of 12.
