The driver of the motorcycle was learned to be Gilberto Tolico, fifty-two years old, and the driver of the vehicle, the black Chevy Tracker was driven by Robert Tech, forty-seven years. We know that it is believed by investigators so far that the motorcycle may have collided head on into the Tracker and the driver received severe head and body injuries and was pronounced dead on the spot. The body of Gilberto Tolico now awaits a post mortem at the Corozal Community Hospital. Robert Teck was detained by Corozal Police. We know that a Notice of Intended Prosecution was served on him.
