(Kaieteur News) – Two men lost their lives in a suspected hit-and-run crash late Sunday night along the Railway Embankment at Clonbrook East Coast Demerara.

Dead are: Collis Bristol, called “Cappo,” and Akeem Burgess, known as “Burnham,” both of Nabaclis Village, ECD.

Kaieteur News understands that Bristol and Burgess were on a bike when a car hit them. The car drove away from the scene. Public-spirited citizens later responded to assist the men, but they were pronounced dead at the Enmore Regional Hospital by the time they were transported there for treatment.
