Basketball Players Injured in RTA, Support Needed 

Several members of the Ocean Academy Male Basketball Team were injured in a road traffic accident on Friday evening near mile 39 on the Philip Goldson Highway. The team was travelling to represent Caye Caulker at the regional tournament.
Several students and teachers sustained injuries, including cuts and fractures, with some in more critical condition.

According to the Caye Caulker Village Council, “3 students and 1 teacher need CT scans. One student needs about 8 scans alone.” The scans are important for assessing the extent of the injuries, and immediate action is necessary to provide proper medical care.

The council has already begun funding some of the scans but is calling for additional support from the community. “The Caye Caulker Village Council is already funding some of these scans, but we will need the community’s support,” it stated. Donations can be made through online transfers or deposits to the Caye Caulker Village Council with the label “Assistance for students.” The Council’s Atlantic Bank Account Number is 100 073 949.
