DUI PNCR executive hospitalised for “trauma”

Cyclist Jude Bentley’s death

One day after being involved in the fatal accident that claimed the life of former national cyclist, Jude Bentley, Retired Rear Admiral of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), Gary Best has been hospitalised.

Ret’d Rear Admiral Gary Best

Best, who was behind the wheel of the vehicle that was involved in the collision with Bentley, is said to be “traumatised”. Bentley was hit and his body dragged a short distance before the vehicle, driven by Best, slammed into a post and came to a halt.
Speaking with this publication on Sunday, Police Commander of Region Four (Demerara-Mahaica) Sub-division A (Georgetown), Assistant Police Commissioner Edgar Thomas said that Best is not on bail for the accident but rather is under guard at a medical facility.
However, he did not sustain any physical injuries as a result of the accident.
Best is also a former presidential advisor to President David Granger, a current candidate on the APNU/AFC list and an executive member of the People’s National Congress Reform.
Based on information received, the accident occurred at about 05:00h in the vicinity of the Russian Embassy, Kitty, Georgetown.

At that time, Bentley was reportedly proceeding to Sheriff Street to meet a group of cyclists when the black Land Cruiser came into contact with the cycle. Upon impact, he fell to the ground while the right side of the vehicle was badly damaged.
Traffic Chief Linden Isles confirmed that Best failed two breathalyser tests. He said that both tests revealed that Best was above the legal limit for alcohol consumption when operating any vehicle.
Bentley’s reputed wife, Akesia Hodge told this publication that he left home sometime around 04:23h on Saturday. She said that about an hour later, she received the dreadful news that Bentley was involved in an accident and immediately rushed over to the scene. She added that when she arrived, his body was still lying on the roadway.

Dead: Jude Bentley

While there were claims by the driver that the cyclist was not wearing any reflective gears and his bike was not equipped with lights, she dispelled these allegations saying that Bentley would always follow protocols.
Reflecting on the former national athlete, she added that he was a helpful person. He leaves to mourn seven children and other family members.

This SOB must be jailed, he murdered the cyclist with his Land Cruiser.

Hold strain deh "King Prosecutor". Right now he's not a free man, he's being held. In the good ole PPP days a minister could pull a gun, slap somebody or whatever and it would be covered up. Leh we see wha happen.

5:23pm no lights would be needed and even so, with him drunk he would still hit have the cyclist. I remember riding from GT to Diamond every day during the week beginning my ride at 5pm right after work and getting back as it got dark. Weekends I rode to the airport

That’s a blind turn, leaving Kitty and coming around the Russian Embassy going towards the East Coast. The cyclist was on the outside lane ( not toward the parapet or sea wall side ) And this is because he wants to turn into Sheriff St... he wasn’t doing anything wrong, but he should have known better. But it’s meant to be. 

Driver will be nail for his ignorance ( drunk) thats the problem with Guyanese- they don’t know when to stop - 5AM he is heading ... who knows where ...  
Unfortunately, a national cyclist who  gives back to the community lost his life. 

It will be interesting if the victim was a ordinary citizen.

True dat! We only had to look out for taxis stopping suddenly to pick up passengers. Once while riding behind a van the driver pulled over to the right ( a move usually made when driving a large truck or bus) to make a left turn into a yard but I thought he was pulling over so I could go by. Man, you should see de cainsta get out the saddle and start grinding in a sprint, suddenly the banna swung left, I barely had the time to swing my bike also to the left as I went flying into the yard where the gate was closed. I hit my brakes and spun the bike around only to face the van as he came to a stop. The idiot apologized after I cuss his rass up good an proper.

Bai Dave. Granger already has this all planned out to have this banna walk free. You see how they advised him to got to a hospital to seek treatment for “trauma”

This is all planned out. Granger will even present him with Guyana’s highest award for killing the cyclist. 

Motorists are usually charged and arrested already for these types of accidents but being a PNC candidate puts them above the law. 

This is injustice. It will backfire though.
