Corentyne motorcyclist dies after hitting pig 

A motorcyclist tragically lost his life early Monday afternoon after reportedly colliding with a pig while riding along the Alness Village, Region Six (East Berbice- Corentyne), public road.

The man who died has been identified as 27-year-old Daniel Gaindalall, a laborer from Block 4 Tain, Corentyne, Berbice.

Daniel’s wife, 49-year-old Janet Naidoo, shared with the News Room that around 17:00 hrs, her husband was returning home from Black Bush Polder when a pig unexpectedly dashed across the road into his path. This caused him to be thrown off his motorcycle, landing on the grassy shoulder.

He was quickly transported to the Port Mourant Public Hospital for medical care, but unfortunately, Janet said he was pronounced dead just ten minutes later.

According to her, Daniel suffered from head injuries.

Janet expressed her worries about animals being allowed to roam freely on the roads.

“I think everybody should be very careful with their animals that they are minding. He [Daniel] does go out all the time with his bike and this never happen. If that pig wasn’t going across the road Daniel wouldn’t have get accident. You minding animals you have to keep them in the yard or you got to get them secure. So nobody nah own the pig because you know what gonna happen,” she disclosed.
