Ten Dead, Several Injured in Tragic Collision

Police Commissioner Chester Williams has confirmed that San Ignacio police have concluded a preliminary investigation into a deadly multi-vehicle crash at mile 68 on the George Price Highway. The tragic accident involved a Ford Expedition SUV, a Toyota Corolla, and a motorcycle.

According to Commissioner Williams, the Ford Expedition was travelling from San Ignacio toward Benque Viejo Town with four passengers on board. The Toyota Corolla, carrying nine passengers, was headed in the opposite direction, while the motorcycle was travelling in the same direction as the Toyota Corolla with only its rider.

The collision resulted in the deaths of all nine passengers in the Toyota Corolla, as well as the motorcyclist. Of the four occupants in the Ford Expedition, two sustained critical injuries and were admitted to the hospital, while the other two received only minor injuries.

Commissioner Williams stated that the identities of the deceased are still being verified, and authorities are working to determine the exact cause of the accident.

Three of the ten victims have been identified as Shailer Lopez, Ashley Bradley, and Kaitlyn Ріnеlо.

“This is truly a sad and tragic incident, that underscores the fact that as drivers we must exercise due care when using the highways,” Williams said, calling on the public to keep the affected families in their prayers.

He assured the public that updates would be provided as more information becomes available.
