A sixty-year-old father of four was on Tuesday killed after a CBR motorcycle slammed into him as he was turning into a street adjoining the Cumberland Public Road, East Canje, Region Six.

Eye witnesses said that the rider of the CBR was proceeding in an opposite direction from Sukhoo when the collision occurred. The father of four was tossed from his motorcycle for about 30 feet unto a parapet.

“When I go out on the road to put him in the car and take him to the hospital, he done dead. The bike overtake a car and knock he down and pitch like about 30 feet away,” Jattan told Village Voice News. He explained that his brother had left his home to have a mechanic fix a faulty exhaust on the motorcycle. It was on his way home that he lost his life.

“Is a dead brother I pick up and put in my car. I wan justice for my brother because this is not an easy thing to go through. We were very close and my brother don’t ride his motorcycle speed,” a grieving Jattan said.
