One day after colliding with a 13-year-old pedestrian on Nelson Mandela Avenue in the vicinity of the Botanical Gardens in Georgetown, motorcyclist Thakur Rajnarine of Sheriff Street Campbellville, Georgetown succumbed to his injuries while receiving medical attention at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
The police have said that on Wednesday, at about 16:30h, Rajnarine was driving motorcycle CJ 4459 along Nelson Mandela Avenue while the 13-year-old pedestrian, of John Steet, Campbellville, was attempting to cross that roadway.
