Vincent Indallall, 37, a former member of the U.S. Army and of Cromarty Village, Corentyne, was on Monday morning killed when he allegedly lost control of his motorcycle CC1042 and crashed into a utility pole on the Clifton Public Road.
The motorcycle ended up on the southern side of the road in a trench, shattering a lamp post in the process. He was picked up in an unconscious state with his left hand severed and was rushed to the Port Mourant Hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival.
According to reports, Indallall, in the company of two other bikers were proceeding east along the Tain Public Road after attending a Car and Bike Show in East Canje, Berbice. The group made a stop at Tain, where he dropped off one of the bikers. He was on his way home when the accident occurred.
When Guyana Times International visited the family, his sister was in a state of disbelief as she could not have come to grips with the news of his tragic death.
According to the dead man’s sister, Crystal Indallall, “My brother was coming home and he was braced off the road by one of his friends (name given) from what people are telling me. I saw my brother last night before he left to see his friends at Canje. The next was when I saw his body and it was the most devastating thing to see. His left arm was severed, his intestines were protruding and his head was badly smashed,” she said as she wept uncontrollably.”
Indallall was described as a wonderful person with a golden heart. “He never refused anyone anything, even if it was his last, he would give, he was a true gentleman,” one elderly person said.
Meanwhile, the dead man’s family is refuting claims by certain sections of the media that Indallall was under the influence of alcohol when the accident occurred.
According to his friend “Rish”, whenever Indallall rides, he would not drink or if he does, he will park his bike.
He and other close friends and relatives are suspecting foul play as Vincent would never ride at a speed which he cannot control. The bike Indallall was riding at the time was described as a 1300 High booster, one of the biggest bikes in Guyana.
According to reports, people were always tempting him to see the full power of the bike, but he would never comply, only going at a pace that was controllable. When this newspaper visited the accident scene, the burgundy and black bike was torn into pieces.
According, to eyewitnesses, they heard the bike approaching and shortly after a loud impact.
Based on their accounts of the accident, the bike first hit a traffic signboard, then crashed into a lamp post, catapulting several hundred feet in the air, hitting a streetlight at the top of the pole, before landing into a nearby trench, littering the surrounding with debris.
According to police, the two other bikers are assisting with investigations.
Indallall, a former U.S. Army sergeant, leaves to mourn his wife and four sons ages eight, 13, 14 and 16.
He re-migrated to Guyana in 2012 and would occasionally visit the U.S.
