The Guyana Police Force [GPF] is currently investigating what it says is a hit-and-run accident on the Railway Embankment Road, Georgetown, in the vicinity of the Sheriff Street Roundabout where a 30-year-old motorcyclist suffered injuries after he was struck by a pickup.
The GPF statement said that the owner and rider of motorcycle, CK 5954, Shevon Payne, a 30-year-old of Lot 45 Canal Road, Stanleytown, West Bank Demerara is in a stable condition at the Georgetown Public Hospital [GPH]. However, the driver’s name and address of pickup, PPP 2442, black in colour, is unknown at this time. The accident occurred on Sunday, May 19 at 7 pm.
According to the GPF, Payne was proceeding east along the northern carriageway along the Railway Embankment and the pickup was proceeding west along the southern carriageway of the said road. As both vehicles came to be in close proximity of each other, it is alleged that the driver of the pickup lost control of his vehicle and collided with the motorcycle. As a result of the collision, Payne fell on the road and sustained injuries about his body while the driver of the pickup drove away.
Payne was picked up in a conscious state by Sheriff Medical Ambulance Service and taken to the GPH where he was examined and later admitted in a stable condition.
