Serious Accident Outside Belmopan

There was a late evening accident on the Western Highway outside Belmopan today.

It happened near mile 46 where a green DMAX was pulling out of Santorini when a blue Toyota Corolla taxi travelling towards Belmopan - reportedly at high speeds - slammed into the side of the DMAX.

The taxi driver is reported to be in very critical condition. He had a passenger in the front seat as well - but that person's status is not known at this time.
