Man killed on Valley Road
The Valentine’s weekend was not a romantic one on our nation’s highways. On Saturday, seventy one year old Justin Flores was knocked down as he walked up the Stann Creek Valley Road just outside of Dangriga. Twenty eight year old Eloy Martinez, a Honduran resident of the town, was behind the wheel of the van that hit him. Flores died of head injuries before reaching the hospital and Martinez has been charged with manslaughter by negligence, causing death by careless conduct, driving without due care and attention and driving an unlicensed motor vehicle.
