“He was at work. He went on Wednesday. He went at Cayo. Normally when he goes to Cayo he spends the overnight there because he spends the whole night working in Cayo, whenever he finish work. He stays there so he doesn’t have to drive home late at night. That is why he always stays whenever he goes, he stays there. So, Thursday he was coming back from his work to home. I am not sure what really happened until now. We don’t have any kind of information to specify what the cause of the accident was. He was very kind, very responsible with his family, his kids. He wanted the best for us. In his work he was so dedicated and did his all on his work all the time. What all of us would like to happen is to have him with us, but sadly that cannot happen. We cannot ask for justice, because we do not know what happened. But, whatever happened is in god’s hands. That is all I can say.”

A Notice of Intended Prosecution was issued to Hiron. Police are investigating.
