By Breaking Belize News Staff (HP): A 40 year old man from San Lazaro Village lost his life following a motorcycle accident on the road leading to Yo Creek Village in the Orange Walk District.
Police say they received information at around 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, September 16, that a motionless man had been found beneath a motorcycle in a drain approximately one mile before reaching Yo Creek.
When officers arrived, they found the victim beneath a black dirt bike near the entrance of a culvert.
The man had sustained multiple injuries, including trauma to his face, a broken left forearm and severe injuries to his left leg.
Initial investigations suggest that sometime between Tuesday evening and early Wednesday morning, the motorcyclist was travelling from Yo Creek toward Orange Walk Town when he apparently swerved toward the right edge of the road.
