While turning onto the said road, the teen motorcyclist, who was proceeding in the same direction, allegedly without a safety helmet, overtook a line of vehicular traffic at a fast rate and collided with the right-side front door, and onto the front windshield of the car.

Police said the motorcyclist then fell onto the road surface, where he received injuries on his body.

Burnett was picked up in an unconscious state while the driver of the motorcar (who is pregnant) also received injuries. They were both taken to Linden Hospital Complex, where they were seen. A doctor pronounced the teenager dead.

The driver of the motor car was treated and admitted as a patient at the Linden Hospital Complex for injuries to her neck and about her body.

Further investigations are in progress.

Hosein wrecks Uganda’s top order

It was a spell of dreams. From the outset, it was clear that when Hosein chose to put revs into the ball, he would get good turn the first ball – a left-arm spinner’s stock ball – ragging past Roger Mukasa’s outside edge.

But it was Hosein’s mastery of drift/swing and his impeccable control that gave him the most venom in this game.

The next ball to Mukasa was a seam-up ball that curved in and struck the sweeping batter in front of middle and off.

Next over, the ball that struck Alpesh Ramjani in front of middle had also moved in the air, late.

Riazat Ali Shah, perhaps Uganda’s best batter, was beaten even more emphatically by the swinging seam-up ball, watching it crash into middle stump.

Then in his last over – the seventh of the innings – Hosein dismissed Dinesh Nakrani and Kenneth Waiswa, the first bowled and the second another lbw, again using movement in the air before pitching.

He left Uganda flailing at 23 for 7, all their batting resources spent, and with little hope of even surpassing the 58 they had made against Afghanistan last week – their previous lowest score. (ESPNcricinfo)

Lewis is presently in custody as investigations continue.
