A tragic road accident in the Maya Mopan area of Belmopan on Thursday afternoon claimed the life of Carlos Romero. The incident occurred around 3:00 PM at the intersection of St. Jude and St. Peter’s Street, involving a 1998 Ford 10-wheeler truck and a motorcycle.

Witnesses report that the truck driver stopped after hearing a loud bang and discovered a red motorcycle and a man trapped under the rear right wheel. With assistance from an off-duty officer, the driver freed Carlos Romero, who was rushed to the hospital but tragically died from his injuries later that evening.

Romero, a former player for Medina’s FC, was fondly remembered by the club. In a heartfelt statement, the team expressed their condolences: “We are glad we got to know a bit of you, Carlos. Our deepest condolences to family and friends. May his soul rest in peace.”
