Monday, November 2, 2015.  Orange Walk Bureau Reporting: Orange Walk Police are investigating a road traffic accident that claimed the life of a San Lazaro resident and the first fatality recorded in the north for November.  

According to police, on Sunday about 1:30 p.m., they responded to a road traffic accident on mile 1 1/2 miles on the Yo Creek Road. 27-year-old Rudy Reyes, a Belizean farmer and driver of the Ford F150 Pick-up truck told police that  he was traveling from San Carlos to Orange Walk Town and upon  reaching the said location at a curve, he observed a cycle coming the opposite direction in the same lane as him.
