ASP Stacy Smith, Staff Officer
"Roaring Creek police are investigating a fatal road traffic accident which led to the death of 29 year old Manuel Mungia. The investigation commenced on Saturday February 14th 2026 at approximately 9:20Pm when officers in that jurisdiction were advised of the presence of an unresponsive male person."
"Near miles 47 and 48 on the George Price Highway. The officers proceeded to that location where they indeed made that observation and they also observed a Lifan brand motorcycle which showed signs of damage as well as a guard rail which also showed signs of damage. Police also encountered a male person on the scene who was driving an SUV and that SUV also showed signs of damage on the drivers side. What we have learned so far is in the course of this ongoing investigation. Is that Mungia was traveling from the direction of Belize City to Belmopan and it is reported that he veered into the lane of the oncoming traffic and when he would have collided with that vehicle his motorcycle careened and collided into the guard rail which caused his untimely demise. A notice of intended prosecution has been served to the driver in relation to the investigation."
"In terms of alcohol a toxicology report would shed light as it relates to the victim and I do not believe one was extracted from the driver of the other vehicle."
