A man is in the K.H.M.H. in a critical condition tonight after he was involved in a road traffic accident. According to reports, forty-nine-year-old Jose Cortez of Paraiso village was driving his motorcycle this morning between miles eighty-five and eighty-six when a Silva bus travelling in the same direction from the northern border to Corozal Town attempted to overtake him. Unconfirmed sources say that the bus driver reported that Cortez swerved in front of the bus and he couldn’t prevent hitting him. Online reports suggest that the bus dragged Cortez almost fifty feet away from where the collision happened.
