posted (August 13, 2014)

German Ignacio Vega, brother of the Deputy Prime Minister, Gaspar Vega, is making news tonight after his company's truck had a traffic mishap on the Western Highway, just outside of Belmopan.

It happened at around 7 this morning when the driver of the truck, which was loaded with groceries belonging to the German Vega and Sons Company, was travelling between Mile 46 and 47.

He lost control of the vehicle after a blow-out, and ran off the road. The vehicle then ended up overturning in a ditch. This caused a major bottleneck in the traffic moving through the Belmopan area.


Police believe that speeding may have been a factor in this accident.
