Chetumal Bridge Takes A Banging
posted (July 24, 2017)
Over the last several months we've reported on the deterioration of the Lake Independence Boulevard. And while we have told you about the constant renovations taking place on the new road, today renovations are needed on the bridge that connects it to Chetumal Street.

According to reports, at around 3:00 yesterday afternoon, a blue minivan crashed into the side of the bridge. So far, investigations reveal that Enrique Cuellar was driving in the direction of the George Price Highway when he lost control of the vehicle and slammed into the bridge's railing. The impact caused severe damage to the barricade, almost completely dislodging it from the bridge.

Cuellar has been issued with a Notice of Intended Prosecution, and investigations continue.
