One Man Dies in Fatal Road Traffic Accident at Mile Two

Rigoberto Itch

The accident on the Phillip Goldson Highway happened at exactly eleven o’clock, and just a half an hour after that there was another accident on the George Price Highway. It happened just outside of Belize City, at mile two. Fifty two year old Rigoberto Itch was on the road when he was hit by a taxi, reportedly travelling at excessive speeds. The impact was massive and Itch died on the spot. In what seems the cruellest of ironies, one of the officers who arrived to process the scene of the fatal accident was Oscar Itch, son of the victim. Rigoberto Itch becomes the second victim of this stretch of road in recent memory. On May twenty-ninth customs Officer Frank Robinson was killed when a ten wheeler truck slammed into the vehicle he was driving as he attempted to make a U-turn.
