A man died in a fatal traffic accident last night on the northern highway between miles 76 and 77. At 9:00 pm, 56 year old Marcelo Riverol was driving a Ford Escape when he crashed into a towhead's trailer that was being reversed into a feeder road. The mini-SUV ran under the trailer and was crushed beneath. Riverol - a resident of Corozal town - received massive injuries and died on the spot. The driver of the tow head has been served with a notice of intended prosecution. The trailer was fully across the road and did not have any reflectors - so it's safe to assume Riverol did not see it. The head did have lights, but that was off the road.
No one was killed in another accident - this one happened early this morning in Camalote village where this SUV ran into a building - and half of it is a church. Well, the SUV took out the church section, knocking out some of the posts for the church and a few tables -= and then proceeding to roll over a few times.
Reports are that the driver may have fallen asleep at the wheel.
