Police are investigating a fatal accident that occurred at about 06:35 hrs this morning (Tuesday, 26th March 2024) at the intersection of Brickdam and Brummel Place, Georgetown, which resulted in the death of motorcyclist Nigel Harvey, a 34-year-old of Lot 731 ‘C’ Field Sophia, Georgetown.
The accident involved a minibus (#BWW 693) owned and driven by Keith Texeira-Livingstone, a 70-year-old resident of Lodge Housing Scheme, and motorcycle #CL 8444, owned and driven by Nigel Harvey (now deceased).
Based on the investigation, the minibus was proceeding North along the western drive lane of Brummel Place, whilst the motorcycle was proceeding West along the southern drive lane of Brickdam (public road), as both vehicles approached the intersection of Brickdam and Brummel Place.
A traffic light was erected at the intersection but was not in working order at the time of the accident. Both drivers failed to stop at the intersection, and a collision occurred where the minibus’s front right collided with the motorcycle’s front left portion.
As a result of the collision, the motorcyclist was flung into the air and fell onto the road surface. The motorcyclist received injuries to the head and body. He was picked up by EMT personnel in an unconscious condition and transported to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival at 06:55 hrs.
The body was later escorted to the Georgetown Public Hospital’s Mortuary, awaiting a post-mortem examination. The driver of the minibus remains in custody, assisting with the investigation.
