By Breaking Belize News Staff: Police are investigating a traffic accident in San Ignacio Town in which a vehicle crashed through a residential fence and into a house, reportedly striking a woman who was relaxing in a hammock.
The incident occurred at approximately 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 7, at a residence on Macal Street.
According to police, the woman was lying in her hammock when she heard a loud collision and suddenly realized that a vehicle had struck her.
Responding officers discovered that the vehicle had collided with the property’s fence before crashing into the home.
During Monday’s briefing, police confirmed that the woman has not requested criminal court action against the driver and is instead seeking compensation for the damage and injuries resulting from the incident.
However, police emphasized that the absence of a formal complaint from the victim does not prevent investigators from pursuing possible traffic offences.
A person of interest was initially detained, and investigators obtained a urine specimen as part of their investigation.
The individual was subsequently served with a Notice of Intended Prosecution and released.
Police say the matter remains under investigation, particularly concerning the possibility of driving without due care and attention.
