Curtly Cambridge

The family of a 32-year-old motorcyclist of Lot 1578 Aubrey Barker Road, South Ruimveldt who died yesterday on the Railway Embankment Road at Triumph is calling for the trucking company to accept full responsibility for what happened.

A police report stated that the accident involved Curtly Cambridge, an excavator operator who was the owner and rider of motorcycle, CK 1795, and Dion Richard, a 25-year-old from Diamond, East Bank Demerara, who was the driver of a truck, GAB 8067, which is owned by Build Smart Construction.

The truck driver told investigators that he was proceeding west along the embankment road, and then turned north into Agriculture Road. He claimed that the motorcyclist was proceeding east along the Railway Embankment Road at a fast rate and drove into the back of the truck as it was negotiating the turn.
