Police are investigating a fatal traffic accident that claimed the life of a San Pedro resident, 33-year-old Gilberto Noble, and left 23-year-old Vincent Canul with injuries.
The collision occurred shortly after 10:30 p.m. last night on Pescador Drive in downtown San Pedro.
According to police, Canul and Noble were traveling south on a motorcycle when they approached the area near Atlantic Bank. Investigators say Canul attempted to overtake a golf cart, but the golf cart reportedly made a sudden slight left turn, causing the motorcycle to collide with its front left fender. The impact threw both men from the motorcycle. Police found Noble with extensive head injuries and he was later pronounced dead. Canul was treated at the Dr. Otto Rodriguez San Pedro Polyclinic II before being transferred to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital in Belize City for further medical attention.
