2 months ago, we told you about the serious accident on the Western Highway, which left well-known Belize City Auctioneer, Kevin Castillo hospitalized. Well today, 35 year-old David Medina Jr., the man who police say was driving the vehicle which slammed into Castillo's, was taken to court for criminal charges in relation to the accident.
As we told you, the accident happened on July 29, between miles 25 and 26 on the Western Highway. Castillo was driving to Belmopan while Medina Jr. was heading to Belize City. Eyewitnesses told us that Medina overtook her, and ended up in Castillo's lane, which caused the accident because Castillo couldn't react in time.
Both men ended up with serious bodily injuries, and today, after receiving treatment at the hospital, police marched Medina Jr., who still had difficulty walking, to appear in front of the Magistrate's Court along with his attorney Arthur Saldivar. He was read charges of driving a motor vehicle without due care and attention and negligent grievous harm.
He was granted bail of $1,000, and he must return to court on November 1, 2013.
