A dream vacation turned into a nightmare for an elderly U.S. couple this weekend as one of them is dead and police say the other is responsible.
On Sunday morning at 7, 68-year-old Dale Marshall and his common law wife 66 year old Lucy Moss left TJ's guesthouse in Corozal town to go looking for breakfast. Heading north to the Santa Elena border, Marshall ran into trouble when he swerved to get our of the way of an overtaking vehicle, hit a pothole, lost control and ran into a Toyota Prado which was parked in front of Dr. Greg Garcia's house. The impact sent Lucy Moss flying out of the vehicle and she died on the spot.
Today, despite his grief, Dale Marshall was charged for manslaughter by negligence, causing death by careless conduct and driving without due care and attention. This afternoon in Corozal Magistrate's Court he received bail of $5,000 and is expected to re-appear in April.
