Elderly Man Recovering Following Hit and Run 

Jose Shol says that his stepfather, Crisantos Chub, was a victim of a hit-and-run on Friday, October 11. Chub had just left Shol’s house at around 2:30 p.m. when he was struck by a driver on a motorcycle. The incident happened on the Thomas Vincent Ramos Highway. Chub suffered injuries to his face and arm.

Shol told News Five, “He was turning upside down like a dead chicken on the road. So I pick him up; I lift him up to carry him to his house. But one thing I understand is that he was hit by a motorcycle, which is an accident. If I carry him home, should something happen, and then police will do something to me.” Shol shared that he laid Chub on the ground until he was taken to the nearby clinic.

“So nothing they do; the doctor just gave him a drip and some medication and then told me to carry him home.” However, Chub’s condition worsened, and he was taken to the Southern Regional Hospital in Dangriga and later to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital in Belize City.

The driver of the motorcycle was heading towards Mango Creek.

If you have any information that can assist investigators, you are asked to call 911 or the family at 668-5144. The family is also asking for assistance in covering Chub’s mounting medical bill.
