Kaieteur News- The 17-year-old son of former Minister of Local Government and Regional Development Kellawan Lall was on Friday killed in an accident along the Eccles Public Road, East Bank Demerara (EBD).
Dead: Ronald Lall
Dead is Ronald Lall of Third Street, Cummings Lodge, East Coast Demerara (ECD).
According to police, the accident occurred at about 18:05h and involved motorcar bearing registration number PAJ 7247 and motorcycle CP 5320.
Investigations revealed that the motorcycle was driven by 17-year-old Sean Bourne of Lusignan Grass Field, ECD. Lall was the pillion rider. The car was driven by a 20-year-old Police Constable of Corentyne, Berbice.
Bourne and Lall were proceeding north along the western carriageway of the Eccles Public Road, while allegedly riding fast and swerving in and out of lanes and, overtaking vehicles that were in front of them heading in the same direction.
Bourne overtook the car driven by the police constable which was in the eastern lane and collided with the concrete median that separates the eastern and western carriageway of the public road. As a result, he lost control of the motorcycle causing him and Lall to fall in front of the said car.
The driver of the car applied brakes in attempt to avoid any collision, but due to the short distance he unavoidably drove over both the driver and pillion rider, causing them to sustain injuries about their bodies.
Bourne and Lall were picked up in a conscious state by the driver and public-spirited citizens and taken to the Diamond Diagnostic Center where they were examined by a doctor. Lall was self-discharged from the hospital by relatives and transported by an Ambulance to the Woodlands Hospital where he was subsequently pronounced dead on arrival.
His body was taken to the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home where it awaits a post-mortem examination.
Meanwhile, Bourne was referred to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation where he was admitted as a patient with fractured ribs and abrasions about the body. His condition is regarded as critical.
The driver of the car was taken to the Providence Police Station where he is assisting with investigations.
