There was also a fatal traffic accident in the Orange Walk district. It was a Sunday afternoon collision between 2 motorcycles and the driver of one of them was an unlicensed 16 year old-while the victim was a 33 year old woman. Police gave us more details on how it happened.
ASP Stacy Smith, Staff Officer
"On Sunday 7th December 2025 at approximately 5:40 PM, acting upon information of a fatal traffic accident on the Phillip Goldson highway between miles 54 and 55 within trial farm village Orange walk, Police visited the area and they observed the unresponsive body of a female who was later identified to be 33 year old Delty Cordova, Belizean domestic of Orange Walk town. Also observed on the scene were 2 motorcycles both of which exhibited extensive damage. What the ongoing investigation has thus far revealed is that Cardova was the pillion rider on a motorcycle driven by Jared Banks and the other cycle was driven by a 16 year old minor who was accompanied by an 18 year old Nelson Choc. It is reported that the minor was driving the cycle from the direction of San Jose village to Trial Farm and he was on the far right of the road. And it is alleged that he made a sudden turn to the left without giving any indication and this caused Mr Banks who was traveling in the same direction to collide into the rear of that cycle resulting in the injuries and the death of Ms Cardova."

"Any sample taken from the drivers?"
ASP Stacy Smith, Staff Officer
"Yes police have detained the individuals in this incident and a notice of intended prosecution has been served on the minor and the adult in this case was also detained for permitting a person to drive without a valid drivers license. I have no indication on the face of this report whether a sample was taken from them."
Cordova was linked to one of the town's motorcycle clubs.
