There were two more traffic fatalities over the weekend - both happened in the Cayo District.
On Saturday night, senior police officer Nasario Tzib was driving towards Selena village which is in the Spanish Lookout area. He was on a downhill approaching a wooden bridge without guard rails when he lost control of his Isuzu pickup and veered off the bridge. He survived, but his wife did not. Police say she was trapped inside:

"Police also received information on the second of April, this time around 10:35pm, and upon arrival they saw a white Isuzu pickup overturned in a stream not too far from a wooden bridge - a female was seen trapped n the vehicle and a police officer, Nazario Tzib from 46 years was seen in a semi conscious state on the side of the road. Police investigation revealed so far that Lorelie Tzib 45 years was traveling along with her husband, Nazario Tzib when he was approaching that bridge and lost control of that pickup that overturned. I know that Nazario Tzib was transported to the San Ignacio Hospital for treatment, unfortunately Loreli Tzib was pronounced dead on arrival."
"We will approach this, ahm cautiously because fo the nature of the relationship, they were in a marriage. We're not giving him any preferential treatment but at the same time we must realize the psychological effect of what took place out there on that night."
Police say they are yet determine what charges if any will be levied.
