A 29-year-old motorcyclist was killed in an accident along the Uriah Butler Highway, near Charlieville on Tuesday night.
Aaron Joel Persad, of Calcutta Road No.1 Freeport, was headed south along the highway, when he collided with the rear of a vehicle at around 10.45pm.
Persad’s motorcycle burst into flames and he fell on the roadside.
The driver of a pick up van involved in the accident told police he pulled aside and went over to check on Persad, who was conscious.
Persad was taken to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, but died while being treated at around 1.24am.
