A 32-year-old man died yesterday after his motorbike was hit by a car on Takuba Road in Meadow Brook at around 3.30 pm.
Dead is Brentnol Greenidge of 9 Bamboo Drive, Meadow Brook, Georgetown. He had been on his way to a nearby shop to collect beverages to sell at the J’ouvert Soca concert.
According to relatives the driver of the car has been detained by the police.
The sister of the deceased, Nichol Goodluck, told the Sunday Stabroek that she couldn’t say exactly what happened because she was at home when she got the news about the accident but her brother went home yesterday afternoon and packed two coolers of beverages to sell at the soca concert which was scheduled to start last night. He later left on his motorcycle to pick up more drinks from the shop and that’s when a girl came running down the street to inform her about the accident.
