There was a traffic accident around 4:00 this afternoon at Mile One on the George Price Highway near the Lord's Ridge Cemetery. Details are still
sketchy at this time – but we understand that a grey Mazda Tribute travelling towards the city – collided into a blue tracker driven by 51 year old
Victorio Herrate. On the scene we saw the driver of the Mazda Tribute inside his vehicle – reluctant to move. We were told both drivers received
injuries. We spoke briefly to Herrate.
