A 16-year-old musician died on Wednesday afternoon when the motorcycle he was riding hit a lamp pole on the Eccles Access Road. Vitor Leca-De Alencar lived at Green Acres on the East Bank of Demerara and was known locally as a rock guitarist. Police placed the time of the crash at around 16:00 hrs. The bike involved, registered CL 5461, was being ridden by the teenager at the time. Officers were called to the scene on the busy East Bank corridor. Details of his injuries and whether anyone else was hurt were not immediately clear from the initial report. Word of the loss spread quickly among the young musician's friends and bandmates. The crash adds another young name to Guyana's road toll.
