Police are investigating a fatal crash near the health centre at Versailles, West Bank Demerara (WBD) about 02:30 hrs yesterday, which resulted in the death of motorcyclist Regan Martin.
According to a police press release, the incident involved motorcycle CL 4994, owned by 27-year-old Regan Martin of Lot 532 First Avenue, Parfait Harmonie, WBD, and motor car PTT 2444, driven by Luis Alberto Moreno, who turned himself over to the police with his lawyer.
The police said enquiries disclosed that the car was proceeding south along Versailles Public Road at a fast rate when, in the vicinity of the health centre, the driver reportedly lost control and collided with the motorcyclist who was proceeding in the opposite direction.
As a result of the impact, the release said, Martin was flung off the motorcycle onto the grass parapet, where he succumbed to his injuries. The car ploughed through some bushes on the western parapet and ended up partially submerged in a trench. The driver then exited the vehicle and fled the scene, the release added, but later turned himself over to the police with his lawyer. He remains in custody.
