Elderly Man Hospitalized After Hit and Run  

 

Tonight, a family is reaching out to the public for help with the medical treatment of seventy-seven-year-old Chrisanto Chub, who was hospitalized after a hit-and-run incident. On October eleventh, around 2:30 PM, Chub was crossing the road in Bella Vista Village when he was struck by a passing motorcycle. He had been visiting his stepson, Jose Shol, who quickly rushed to his aid. Chub is now receiving care at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital in Belize City. Shol, who is staying at the hospital to support his stepfather, provided News Five with an update on Chub’s condition.

 

Jose Shol, Victim’s Stepson

“He was hit by a motorcycle. Somebody told us. Where is that guy? He went away. He only hit my stepfather and he left him there like animal. But he mentioned to us that we can carry him to the hospital. So we carry him that same night. And while they treat him there and the ambulance carry him to Southern Regional Hospital in Dangriga.  So just it’s all we it’s all about a week now. So just yesterday we came in Belmopan to check the crack. My stepfather is getting old. He’s seventy-seven years. So the doctor tell me that as a person is getting old, the brain is getting smaller.  So there is a place in between the skull and the brain where the blood stays. So they’re going to treat him with some medicines. If they, if not they will be doing surgery to take out the blood that is bruised inside. If God touches their heart, they can contact me with my number. My number is six-six-eight-five-one-four-four. Because I am the person doing my best to support him. Like I mentioned, there are old people. My mom has a cataract on her eye, and they always struggle. So that’s why I felt what happened to him because I cannot do all the things to support my mom by myself. I’m not saying that I’m not helping, but like I mentioned, I cannot do it all. So this is what touches me. So that’s why I’m sacrificing myself to be with him.”
