In a press release gendarmes said that the accident occurred on a one way street when the rider lost control of his motor cycle when going over a speed bump.
The rider was thrown against a wall after rolling several times on the road. The motorbike continued rolling down the road and came to a stop some distance away.
The victim was transported to the Louis Constant Fleming Hospital where he received emergency surgery for multiple fractures to his legs. The gendarmes said the motor cycle had disappeared from the scene by the time they arrived on the scene. The victim succumbed to his injuries early Saturday morning. The gendarmes already concluded that the accident was caused because the rider had lost control of his machine. Toxicology tests would be conducted.
