Two brothers were killed at around 11.20 hrs yesterday after being run over by a mini-bus while cycling on the Den Amstel Public Road, West Coast Demerara.
Police identified the victims as Sherman West, 28, a labourer and Shalom Allen, 19, both of Lots 8-9 Fellowship, WCD
Police have since detained two minibus drivers who were involved in the accident.
According to a police release, the driver of mini bus BVV 8882, who was proceeding east along the northern side of the road, stopped to put off passengers, while West, who was towing Allen on a bicycle, was proceeding in the same direction behind the bus.
West was about to pass the bus when the vehicle suddenly moved off and struck the bicycle’s handlebar.
The brothers fell onto the southern carriageway of the road and were struck by mini bus BVV 7042 which was proceeding in the opposite direction.
They were rushed to the West Demerara Regional Hospital in an unconscious state by the police, but were pronounced dead on arrival.
The drivers were breathalyzed, but no alcohol was detected.
