And while there have been a stunning five killings in the west since Saturday - there is another death to report, this one by traffic accident.

At around 7:30 last night, 33 year old Rene Guidel, a businessman of MosquitoVille Area in San Ignacio town, was driving past Chuc's Gas Station on the Benque Viejo Road, when he was momentarily blinded by a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction with its high beams on.

As soon as he recovered, he saw a man directly in front of him riding a bicycle. He hit him with the right side of the vehicle causing the victim to be pinned under the vehicle dragging him for a short distance. The man was later identified by friends only as Sergio. We were told by friends today that Sergio is a Salvadorian who has been selling clothes in Belize for 20 years, but has no family living here. Two of his friends were trying to see to his death arrangements:...

Sergio will be laid to rest in Belize with the help of his friends.
