Boy, 10, Survives Hit-and-Run in Belize City

Camera footage of a hit-and-run accident on Sunday evening, January twenty-first, is cause for concern for parents tonight. A ten-year-old boy was riding his bicycle across the intersection of Amara Avenue and Dean Street close to six in the evening when he was struck face on by an approaching vehicle and dragged for some distance. The vehicle sped off without stopping to render aid and it was left to neighbors to come out and check on the boy, who was later taken by a relative to the hospital. The child was issued with a medico legal form. While the family has yet to make an official report, we understand that they will seek court action. Police have made no formal report as yet.
