Paradise Man Dies in Nabaclis Accident
— 3 Year old baby Hospitalized
A tragic accident along the Nabaclis Public Road, East Coast Demerara, has claimed the life of Carlos Bacchus, a resident of Paradise Village, as Guyana continues to grapple with an alarming increase in motorcycle-related deaths nationwide.
According to initial reports, the accident occurred late last night when Bacchus, who was riding a motorcycle at the time, collided with another vehicle along the busy public road. Eyewitnesses say the impact was severe, leaving the man motionless on the roadway before emergency responders arrived. He was later pronounced dead.
Reports are that a three year old baby girl and her father were thrown from their bicycle after being hit by the motorcycle that was being operated by Carlos. The father was treated at the Enmore Regional Hospital and discharged. However, the child remains hospitalized under observation.
This fatality adds to a growing pattern of motorcycle accidents reported across Guyana in recent months. Authorities have repeatedly raised concerns over reckless riding, failure to wear protective gear, and an increase in speeding on major roadways. Road safety advocates are renewing calls for stricter enforcement of traffic laws, improved rider training, and greater public awareness to curb the rising death toll.
The Guyana Police Force is urging motorists and motorcyclists to exercise caution, especially at nights and on high-speed corridors such as the East Coast Demerara highway.
Police investigations are ongoing.
