Anatolio Lazaro was knocked down in November of 2025 - and six weeks later, he's out of an induced coma but no one has been charged.
Today, the victim's brother Jose Lazaro came to our newsroom after his brother was discharged from the KHMH, where the hospital says that they can't do anything more for him. His brother's medical bill is already over 10 grand and he will need a lot of aftercare. So, tonight the family from Corozal is seeking both medical and legal assistance for their loved one.
His brother came to our studio today and gave us more details on the situation.
Jose Lazaro, Brother of Accident Victim
"Well since my brother was knocked down on the 25th of November 2025, we haven't heard much from the police. And up to now my brother has been discharged from the hospital since the 31st of December and we are in a situation where we don't have finance to comply with what the expectations of the doctors are. They want us to get a suction machine and they want us to get oxygen and overall the problem is my brother's health and who will take care of him. And we will need to find finance to get someone to assist him and we know for sure it is something very delicate and we are not in a position. But rather the hospital has already discharged him so we are now in a position where we don't know what to do and the police have not done much. They have already taken a side, and they are telling us that the guy needs to be taken to the DPP and they will decide what to do with him. So we are really in a position where we don't know what to do."
