Last night, we told you how the family of Dean Dawson Sr. is demanding that Dorian Pakeman, the Director of the Government Press Office, be criminally charged for death of their loved one. On Wednesday night, Pakeman knocked down and killed Dawson on the Phillip Goldson Highway between miles 22 and 23.
The family says that Pakeman was overtaking, and he collided head-on with Dawson who was riding a bike in the opposite lane.
Pakeman called us back today to say he was heading home from Orange Walk with his high beams on when he spotted Dawson on the bike going in the same direction, in the same lane. Pakeman says that he blew his horn and Dawson swerved towards the center of the road. Pakeman told us that's when he went unto the shoulder of the road to try to go around Dawson. Still, the front passenger side of the vehicle struck Dawson and he died from the impact.
Pakeman sent us a copy of the independently tested urine sample that he gave to police - which shows that he had 0% alcohol in his system.
This evening, we checked back with Ladyville investigators who were present for the post mortem on Dean Dawson Sr. They told us that the autopsy has been concluded and it certifies that he died of massive head and bodily injuries suffered in the accident. Of note is that they have collected a blood sample from Dawson to test if he had alcohol in his system.
