A 28-year-old motorcyclist and parliamentary clerk from Aranguez, Richard Nangwah, died following an accident on the Southern Main Road in Curepe around 10 pm, on February 26.

Reports say Nangwah, while heading north, swerved into the southern lane to avoid a puddle of water on the road. In doing so, he hit a silver Kia Cerato heading south, causing him to be pitched off his bike and fall onto the pavement. The car collided with a light pole and burst into flames.

Officers arrived around 10.15 pm and saw the Kia Cerato, driven by a 26-year-old labourer from St James, on fire on the western side of the walkway.
