A Belize City man is dead after he was knocked off his bicycle by a truck. Forty-seven year old Harold Meggs of Belama Phase III was riding his bike against traffic on the Northern Highway near the Coral Grove Gas Station Saturday afternoon when he was hit by a Crystal Water truck. According to the driver, twenty-five year old Mark Zelaya, the cyclist was heading toward him, riding next to the road’s divider.
