A resident of Plaisance, East Coast Demerara (ECD) was placed on bail in the sum of $600,000 after he was charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
Adrian Evans was arrested shortly after the the accident which occurred at around 2:30hrs on Sunday along the Sparendaam Public Road, ECD.
Evans was driving motorcar PAB 2495 when it collided with motorcycle CP 5910 driven by 32-year-old Steven Kumar, who resided at Non Pareil, ECD.
