A 27-year-old mechanic was killed last night after he was struck by a car while riding a motorcycle on the Goed Fortuin Public Road, West Bank Demerara.
Dead is Kenrick Roach, a father of five from Roxanne Burnham Gardens.
Kaieteur News understands that the two vehicles were traveling in opposite directions when the collision occurred.
The mangled motorcycle was still in the grass and the driver of car had already been apprehended and taken into custody at the La Grange Police Station when this newspaper arrived at the scene.
The victim’s friend, Leon Howard who was on another motorcycle witnessed the mishap.
“We going like 80 kilometers; this man (the driver) was speeding when I look all I see this man overtake three vehicle, miss me, come in pon me lane and collect (struck) me friend.
All I hear is ‘blam’; when I look I see me partner in a pool a blood I see he tek he last breath,” the sobbing man said.
Howard told Kaieteur News that he and his friend were heading to Middle Street Pouderoyen while the other vehicle was traveling in the direction of the Demerara Harbour Bridge.
Relatives and friends, who converged at the scene later, were obviously traumatized by the news. They seemed confused about the circumstances surrounding the man‘s death. His friends described Roach as a helpful individual who did not deserve such a sudden cruel death.
Samuel Roach, the dead man’s brother told this newspaper that his sibling who was living with his parents, had recently rented a house on the West Bank of Demerara because he had planned to wed sometime next February.
Kaieteur News understands that another sibling had died in a crash in the vicinity of the Demerara Harbour Bridge several years ago.
Roach leaves to mourn his five children, fiancé, parents and siblings.
