And while those three traffic fatalities happened less than 24 hours ago, two accidents that happened last week are now also fatalities.

The first is 13 year old Earl Ishmael Flores. He is the little boy who was knocked down in a hit and run incident just outside of Burrell Boom Village.

Just before midnight last night, Flores died. The teenager had endured a serious surgery just hours before his death, after which doctors detected a massive swelling of his brain - which led to his death.

He was run over 2 Sunday's ago and still no one has been arrested and charged. His family told Monica Bodden today that police are dragging their feet.



Earl Flores Jr. was a student of the Burrell Boom Methodist Primary School. Today 2 black bows hung on the gates of the school compound as students and teachers mourn his death.
