There was a terrible head-on collision on the Northern Highway in the Orange Walk District last night - and it caused the loss of one life.
It happened at about 6:45 pm between miles 59 and 60, where 41 year old Jenaro Gaspar Sanchez, a 41 year old cane farmer of Santa Clara Village was northbound in a Toyota pickup when he crashed into a Blue Bird BBOC Bus headed to Orange Walk.
No one in the bus was hurt, but Sanchez died in his pickup - and his body was trapped there for over an hour before it could be moved. The pickup was mangled and crushed beyond recognition.
His passenger, 45 year old Primitivo CANO did survive and suffered a cut wound to his head, abrasions to his left arm and was complaining of pain to the left side of his chest.
