A damper was put on the Guyana Cycling Federation (GCF) Time Trials yesterday
when Berbice cyclist, Andre Green, a member of the Trojan Cycle Club was involved in an accident involving a #43 route mini bus.
The accident occurred on the Long Creek Hill, Linden Soesdyke Highway as Green, one of the junior competitors was making his way back to the finish line. Another rider who was with Green and some others said that the route #43 bus (BSS 181) that was being driven by Lionel Kanhai was behind the riders for a bit but Kanhai apparently got impatient and decided to pull to his right to overtake the riders.
Almost simultaneously, Green also pulled to his right and that is when the bus hit the young rider sending him off his cycle on to the parapet.
As word spread that Green was knocked down, many riders and officials converged at the scene just over a mile from the finish line. Green, who was crying out for pain and with visible bruises about his body, was rushed off to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre by one of the Trojan Cycle Club officials.
President of the GCF Cheryl Thompson visited Green at the hospital said that he seemed to be fine and was conversing with others.
“He seemed to be well after receiving dressing and was constantly finding out about his cycle saying that if it was destroyed, his career was over. I had to tell him not to worry about that but just focus on being fine.”
Three Traffic Ranks of the Guyana Police Force Yarrowkabra Station arrived at the scene to conduct investigations. Over at the Diamond Diagnostic Centre, Cpl John visited with Green and was in contact with his colleagues on the Highway.
