Ryan Jordan, a 33-year-old motorcyclist died Friday night after he was struck by a motorcar driving along the Cummings Lodge Main Access Road.
Police Headquarters reported that Jordan was riding his motorcycle (#CG 6668) along the road at about 20:30 hrs. A red motorcar (#PMM 3148) was proceeding along the road as well, though in the opposite direction.
The car was said to be driving at a fast rate and in the vicinity of 7th and 8th Fields, Cummings Lodge, the car’s driver allegedly swerved west onto the western lane of the road and into Jordan’s path.
“This resulted in a collision, where both the motorcycle and the motorcyclist were thrown into the air and ended up on the western grass parapet, causing the motorcyclist to receive injuries to his body,” Police said.
An ambulance was later summoned and Jordan was pronounced dead at the scene. His body was taken to the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, awaiting a post-mortem examination.
Meanwhile, Ronny Reuda, the occupant of the car was questioned. He told officers that he and the driver, whose identity is still unknown, went out to assist the motorcyclist. Reuda, however, claimed that they were attacked by individuals in the area.
Resultantly, he recounted, the driver ran away and left him behind. He was then reportedly robbed of his wallet and other valuables and was assaulted by several persons in the area, causing him to sustain injuries to his body.
Reuda was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital by ambulance, where he was seen and examined by a doctor on duty and was admitted to the said institution suffering from a fractured skull. His condition is stable.
Police are searching for the driver as investigations continue.
