A well known Spanish teacher from Belmopan Comprehensive High school, Dunia Escoto, died in an accident on Friday evening.

Escoto and 2 of her close friends - also teachers, Jodine Gill and Dennya Portillo were heading back to Belmopan from a Dangriga road trip. But Gill - who was driving - got distracted by one of her friends and lost control of the vehicle causing it to flip near mile 35. Gill got serious head injuries, Portillo suffered a broken leg while Escoto was fatally injured. This picture was taken on the road trip before the accident.

This is not the first "Compre" teacher who has died in an accident. Another was Science teacher Carlisle Grinage. He died in an accident in 2010 while returning from a staff retreat.
