Third man in Williamsburg accident succumbs

The pillion rider who was critically injured following a motorcycle collision on April 19 on the Williamsburg Public Road, Corentyne, succumbed to his injuries last Sunday at the Georgetown Public Hospital.

On April 19 two motorcyclists died  while Veeram Seecharran, 17, of Lot 63 Williamsburg Village, Corentyne succumbed to his injuries in the ICU after being hospitalised for nine days for a fractured skull.

According to his aunt, Anita Seecharran, the doctors tried their best but there wasn’t much the family could have expected out of the situation since they were told by doctors that because of the severity of her nephew’s injury, the other organs of his body began to fail.

The accident involved motorcycle, CM 2969, ridden by Vekash Tulsi, 21, of Lot 90 South First Street, Letter Kenny, Corentyne, and motorcycle CM 50 ridden by Rondy Emanuel, 22, a labourer of Lot 167 Williamsburg, Corentyne, with pillion rider, Seecharran.

According to investigations, Tulsi was proceeding west along the Williamsburg Public Road while Emanuel was proceeding east, both allegedly at a fast rate, when Emanuel lost control and ended up in Tulsi’s path. As a result, the motorcycles collided head-on with both motorcyclists and the pillion rider falling onto the roadway. 

They were all picked up in unconscious condition and rushed to the Port Mourant Public Hospital where Tulsi was pronounced dead on arrival. Emmanuel succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.

Seecharran was transferred to the New Amster-dam Public Hospital with a fractured skull then to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries in the ICU.
