Hercules Killed in Traffic Accident

A man was killed in a road traffic accident yesterday. It occurred just before five on Monday evening between miles thirty seven and thirty on the Western Highway. The driver has been identified as forty three year old bus driver Guadalupe Tzib. Preliminary investigations reveal that Tzib was travelling from Belmopan to Belize City when he claims a bus veered into his path.

To avoid being hit Tzib told police that he swerved to the far right but as he did a man identified only as Hercules who was standing on the side of the road. Hercules received severe head and body injuries and died on arrival at the Western Regional Hospital. Belmopan police have detained Guadalupe Tzib pending charges.
