Navindra Jodhan, a Berbice policeman who was hospitalised after an accident just over a week ago, succumbed at the Georgetown Public Hospital yesterday.
On June 14, around 4.30, Jodhan, 30, who was off-duty at the time, was proceeding on motorcycle CJ 88224 among a group of bikers when he was involved in an accident along the Number 68 Village Public Road.
Stabroek News was told that pedal cyclist Malchan Ramdanny, 47, was proceeding along the western side of the road ahead of Jodhan, who was reportedly behind a motor car.
However, as Jodhan was about to pass the pedal cyclist, Ramdanny allegedly turned into Jodhan’s path in an attempt to cross the road, which resulted in a collision.
Both men were rushed to the Skeldon Public Hospital, where Ramdanny was pronounced dead on arrival.
However, Jodhan was transferred to the New Amsterdam Public Hospi-tal and then subsequently to the Georgetown Public Hospital.
The Guyana Police Force yesterday confirmed Jodhan’s death, while noting that his body is awaiting a post-mortem examination at the said hospital.
Jodhan was previously stationed at the New Amsterdam Police Station.
