Both motorcyclists received injuries about their bodies.
The driver of the car, along with the motorcyclists were taken to the Oscar Joseph Charity Cottage Hospital, where they were seen and examined by Dr. Mahase.
Daniel Gray was pronounced dead by teh doctor.
Meanwhile, Alex Jaigopaul was admitted for multiple fractures to his left foot and Patrick Murray, the 24-year-old driver of the motorcar – a Pastor from Charity, for injuries to his face.
Both patients were later transferred to the Lima Regional Hospital for further medical attention.
