Tonight, 5 young men are fortunate to have escaped major injuries in an accident which happened on Sunday morning in Belize City.
According to police, 21 year-old Darren Wright, the driver of the Grey Toyota 4 Runner, seen in the footage, reported to police that he was in the vehicle along with 20 year-old Avery Gordon, 21 year-old Kevian Godfrey, a 17 year-old male minor, and the 16 year-old son of the Minister of Housing, Michael Finnegan.
They were travelling at high speed on New Road, and when they arrived near the Puma Gas Station, he lost control of the vehicle. They collided into a lamp post - which snapped, and overturned. The 17 year-old was flung through the broken windshield unto the street.
Everyone received injuries from the accident, and 2 of them ended up being hospitalized.
And to make a bad situation worse, the young men were reportedly robbed of their cellular phones, tennis shoes, and trousers while they were in an unconscious state.
While police are investigating, a family member of one of these young men has contacted us saying that they are offering a reward for the return of the cellular phones to police, no questions asked.
