Police Constable Kenyon Pandy is dead following a fatal traffic accident in southern Belize. Just after three-thirty on Tuesday evening, Pandy was driving a vehicle when he lost control at the junction of the Southern Highway and San Antonio Road. The vehicle flipped several times, killing the twenty-seven-year-old on the spot. Pandy suffered massive head injuries and died within minutes. Traveling with him at the time were Police Constable Chyneque Zuniga and a son of the deceased; their condition is unknown at this time.  Earlier today, we spoke with Pandy’s father who shares what he learnt about the tragic accident that claimed his son’s life.

“They call me and tell me that my son was coming or going to work. But I nuh know if he was coming to Belmopan or PG, but I think he was coming. They say that he was in a hurry because he wants to reach work in time. I said why he would want to reach and hurry – it is better to be late. So, that is what happened and they said that he was trying to hurry and reach work he and his friends.”
