SUV takes a swim in Saturday night freak accident

Speed is often a factor of traffic accidents in Belize but one heavy footed driver seems to have defied the laws of physics with his stunt on Saturday. According to eyewitnesses, around ten that night, a Mitsubishi SUV was spotted barreling down Princess Margaret Drive. The driver switched lanes near Baymen Avenue and collided head on into a metal barrier, breaking it in two. Following that impact the vehicle swung to the right, jumped the sidewalk, blanched one of the cement planters, flew over the sea wall and landed in the water. The driver, identified as forty-six year old Raul Magana, escaped with minor injuries but the SUV is considered a total loss. The vehicle was fished out around three on Sunday afternoon by crane and hauled away.
