A 44-year-old fisherman lost his life on Friday night after he was involved in an accident along the Massara Access Road, in the North Rupununi, Region Nine.
The dead man has been identified as Valdemir Bezzera, of Massara Village, who was riding a motorcycle at the time of the accident.
The accident occurred around 20.00 hrs.
The Guyana Police Force (GPF) yesterday said enquiries revealed that Bezzera was proceeding north along the Massara Access road at a fast rate of speed.
While negotiating a bend, the police said, he lost control of his motorcycle and fell onto the road surface.
Bezzera’s lifeless body was subsequently discovered by a public-spirited citizen who was traversing the area at the time.
Bezzera was picked up and taken to the Massara Health Centre, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
A post-mortem examination is scheduled to be conducted soon.
