Traffic accident claims life of Maurice Sedacey

And heading up north, a Sand Hill resident was hit and killed this afternoon shortly after two. Fifty-six year old Maurice Daniel Sedacey, better known as “D”, was riding his bicycle on the highway about a half mile from his home when a Dodge Ram heading in the direction of Belize City knocked him off his bicycle at mile nineteen near Edgewater Bar. One eyewitness said the vehicle was moving so fast that when the driver applied brakes he skidded along the road for about two hundred yards before coming to a complete stop.
