Loose Horse Causes Car Accident 

Late last night, a lose horse wandering in the middle of the highway was hit by a vehicle. The incident occurred between Belize City and Orange Walk near Mile 41 on the Philip Goldson  Highway. According to the driver, “The road was so dark and there was no way to see the horse until we were already hitting it..it was a particular situation because the horse was walking head first toward us on our side of the road…not crossing….it happened so quickly…”

After the accident, the driver shared their gratitude for the strangers who rushed to help, especially a woman who immediately assisted with their children and controlled the traffic until the police arrived. “By time police arrived and I looked for her to thank her she was gone. May the Lord bless you abundantly!”

Minor injuries were reported.

The driver also called for action to improve road safety, highlighting the need for better-lit roads and for property owners to secure their animals near highways. The driver urged fellow motorists to drive cautiously, wear seat belts, and be mindful of others on the road.
