Fatal In Independence
Thu, September 29, 2016
A motorcyclist was killed in an accident on the Southern highway. Last night around 6:30, bus driver Julio Caceres was taking a group of construction workers back home to Bella Vista in a bus. As Caceres approached the entrance to San Juan between miles 34 and 35, he saw 50 year old Mango Creek resident, Antonio Valerio on a motorcycle parked on the right side of the road. It seems Valerio had stopped too close to the highway and by the time Caceres saw him, it was too late. Caceres slammed into Valerio and he was flung from his cycle. Caceres told police that he tried to avoid Valerio by swerving unto the left lane but a James Bus was coming at the same time. Police are still looking into this case. Caceres has been served with a notice of intended prosecution.
