A man is in hospital with a severed knee following an accident on the Hillfoot Public Road, Soesdyke-Linden Highway on Sunday morning.
Michael Roach, 46, of Friendship Squatting Area is now a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) where he is awaiting surgery on his knee. He is said to be in a serious condition, according to a statement from the police.
Roach was the rider of motorcycle CK #6361 with pillion rider, Romalo Hubbard, 28, of 74 Friendship EBD when a car driven by 40-year-old Rolston Daniels of Lot 15 Supply, East Bank Demerara struck them.
Police say that Daniels’ motorcar, PXX # 7229 was proceeding east along the northern side of the said road when he lost control and struck the motorcycle.
As a result of the collision both the pillion rider and the motorcyclist fell on the road and sustained injuries about their bodies. They were picked up in a conscious condition by public-spirited citizens and placed into a passing vehicle and taken to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre where they were seen and examined by doctors on duty.
Hubbard was treated and sent away while Roach was transferred to the GPH.
A notice of intended prosecution has been served on Daniels after a breathalyzer test read 139 and 160 micrograms. He remains in custody as further inquiries are in progress.
