B.D.F. soldier dies in Chiquibul road accident …
Meanwhile, an accident on the Chiquibul Road has left a Belize Defence Force solider dead and eight others injured. According to Commander Dario Tapia, Corporal and medic Zaccheus Pop was escorting a group of recruits from the Mountain Pine Ridge base camp to the San Ignacio Hospital for medical treatment around eight on Saturday morning. But reports are that as the B.D.F. Land Rover neared the entrance of one of the resorts in the area, driver Corporal Moises Diego lost control and the vehicle overturned. Pop suffered the worse of the injuries and later died. The recruits were all rushed to the San Ignacio hospital with non-life threatening wounds. Recruits Roxanne Goff, Denisha Parchue and Lorine Bol have since been transferred to Belize Healthcare Partners.
