ASP Stacy Smith reported, “Police responded to reports of a traffic accident near mile 45 on the Thomas Vincent Ramos Highway in southern Belize. Upon arrival at the scene, officers observed 19-year-old Aaron Cal and 20-year-old Jeffrey Cal with varying degrees of injuries. Both male persons were rushed to the Independence Polyclinic for treatment. However, Jeffrey Cal of San Isidro Village succumbed from the injuries he sustained in the accident.
