– others injured
A speeding motorcyclist suffered a severed right hand, while several other commuters were also injured during a four-vehicle smash-up that occurred at around 20:00 hrs yesterday on the Onverwagt, West Coast Berbice Public Road.
Travis Semple, 28, of Hopetown, West Coast Berbice, had to undergo emergency surgery at the Fort Wellington Hospital to remove his mangled limb.
He was subsequently transferred by ambulance to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, along with his friend, Abocy Lynch, 28, also of Hopetown, West Berbice, who suffered a broken right leg. At least four others were treated at the Fort Wellington Hospital.
It is unclear which man was the pillion rider.
According to reports, Lynch and Semple were travelling at a fast rate on motorcycle CG 8402, and were attempting to overtake a line of cars heading east, when they collided with a car, PMM 4719.
This resulted in the car veering out of its lane, and slamming into a black Premio, PMM 8207, which was heading in the same direction as the motorcyclists.
The Premio is registered to Wesley Saunders of Barron Street, Republic Park, East Bank Demerara, and was being driven by his wife, Marisska. There were four other occupants, and they were all injured.
As of press time, the extent of their injuries was not clear.
The victims were rushed to the Fort Wellington Hospital after which Lynch and Semple were transported to the Georgetown Public Health facility.
Additionally, a wagon was also hit but the driver, along with his two children, wife, and brother-in-law escaped with minor injuries.
The motorcycle was towed to the Fort Wellington Police Station compound.
