A 28-year-old farmer from Black Bush Polder died on Friday night after the motorcycle on which he was travelling reportedly collided with a car along the Manchester Public Road, Corentyne.
Dead is Chatram Brigbasie of Lot 59 Lesbeholden North, Black Bush Polder, Corentyne, Berbice.
Brigbasie’s wife, Ratna Satran, told the News Room that he left their home at around 18:00 hours but did not say where he was heading.
About two hours later, Satran said she received a call informing her that her husband had been involved in a serious accident.
She immediately went to the scene, but by the time she arrived, Brigbasie had already been pronounced dead. His body was subsequently taken to the mortuary.
Satran said she was informed that Brigbasie and a pillion rider were travelling on the motorcycle when they allegedly collided with the rear of a car.
Both men reportedly fell from the motorcycle and sustained injuries. The condition of the pillion rider was not immediately known.
Brigbasie also worked part-time with the National Agricultural and Research Extension Institute (NAREI) at Lesbeholden. Relatives described him as a good person.
He leaves to mourn his wife, a seven-year-old daughter and an unborn child, along with other relatives and friends.
Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident.
