And about twelve hours before that accident claimed the lives of the child and the adult, another man died from a traffic accident on the Western highway.
At around 9 a.m. on Sunday, Belmopan Police went to an area between miles 50 and 51 in Camalote Village where they found the body of 22 year-old Jose Martinez. He was lying next to a red motorcycle, and the officers also found a red Isuzu Rodeo which had sustained damage to its front portion.
What police have been able to learn so far is that 53 year-old Anthony Polonio was driving the Rodeo going toward San Ignacio and at that location, he had a head-on collision with Martinez, who was riding the motorcycle. Martinez was flung from motorbike, and he suffered massive head and bodily injuries; he died on the spot.
It is expected that as per procedure, Polonio has been served with a notice of intended prosecution until police are fully able to ascertain the cause of the accident, and who is at fault.
