By Aaron Humes: A motorcycle accident in Trial Farm village, Orange Walk District, on Sunday evening has resulted in the death of a woman, 33-year-old Delty Cordova of Orange Walk Town, and left a male rider, Jarret Banks, with serious injuries.
Responding police visited the area of miles 54 and 55 on the Philip Goldson Highway around 5:40 in the evening. Assistant Superintendent of Police Stacy Smith filled in the blanks on what they found: “What the ongoing investigation has thus far revealed is that Cordova was the pillion rider on a motorcycle driven by one Jarret Banks. And the other cycle was driven by a sixteen-year-old minor who was accompanied by an eighteen-year-old, Nelson Chuc. It is reported that the minor was driving the cycle from the direction of San Jose Village to Trial Farm, and he was on the far right of the road. It is alleged that he made a sudden turn to the left without giving any indication, and this caused Banks, who was traveling in the same direction, to collide into the rear of that cycle, resulting in the injuries and the death of Cordova.”
Banks was taken to the Northern Regional Hospital in Orange Walk Town where he was listed in critical condition.
ASP Smith reported that “Police have detained the individuals in this incident, and a notice of intended prosecution [has] been served on the minor, and the adult in this case was also detained for permitting a person to drive without a valid driver’s license. I have no indication on the face of this report whether a sample was taken from them.”
