A minibus conductor is now dead, while the motorcyclist who struck him down remains in critical condition at the Linden Hospital Complex (LHC) Intensive Care Unit (ICU) following an accident on Tuesday evening.
Dead is Neberne “Challo” Charles of One Mile, Wismar, Linden, who succumbed to head and bodily injuries at the LHC ICU early Wednesday morning. The accident occurred approximately 21: 45h on Tuesday evening.
According to reports, Charles was at the said time standing along the roadway near a wash bay located at “Sodom Corner”, One Mile, Wismar, Linden and was awaiting a minibus which was being washed at the said time when he was hit from behind by the motorcycle which was driven by Revon Austin of Canvas City, Wismar.
Austin was reportedly racing along the One Mile Public Roadway with another motorcyclist, when he swerved the motorcycle to avoid hitting a dog which had ran onto the said roadway.
An eyewitness revealed that Charles, after being struck, was flung several yards away upon impact and landed headfirst on a concrete bridge located along the roadway.
Both Charles and Austin were admitted to the LHC ICU on Tuesday evening shortly after the accident, however, Charles, who was a well known minibus conductor in the Linden community, later succumbed to his injuries, while Austin remains in critical condition in the ICU as he also reportedly sustained serious injuries.
