Police are investigating an accident at Mandela Avenue, Georgetown, yesterday, which claimed the life of 20-year-old Calvin Peters of East Ruimveldt Squatting Area, and led to the hospitalisation of another man, Shemar Pitt.
Enquiries disclosed that Peters was on a motorcycle proceeding south along the eastern side of Nelson Mandela Avenue, and while in the vicinity of the Multilateral Secondary School, he stopped his motor cycle in the centre of the lane, in the path of another cycle driven by Shemar Pratt.
Pratt subsequently collided with the rear right side portion of the stationary motor cycle. As a result of the collision, both riders fell to the road surface where they received injuries about their bodies.
They were then picked up in a semi-conscious state by public-spirited citizens and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where Calvin Peters was seen and examined by a doctor on duty and pronounced dead.
Shemar Pratt was also seen and examined by a doctor on duty and treated for head injuries and lacerations about the body.
His condition is deemed stable. The accident scene was checked for the motorcycles but none was seen. Further investigations are ongoing.
