Driver Charged After Crash Kills Father, Son on Highway

A tragic accident on the Philip Goldson Highway has led to serious charges for a Double Head Cabbage resident. Tonight, thirty-nine-year-old Melvin Ashburn Harris is out on bail after being arraigned in the Belize City Magistrate’s Court for a deadly collision that claimed the lives of a father and son from Biscayne Village. The crash happened Tuesday evening between Miles twenty-eight and twenty-nine. Police say Harris was behind the wheel of a white Hino truck when he swerved to avoid potholes, only to collide with a motorcycle carrying Josue and Felipe Solis. Both men suffered severe injuries and were later pronounced dead at the hospital. Harris is now facing five traffic-related charges, including two counts of manslaughter by negligence. He appeared in court this morning with his attorneys and was granted bail under strict conditions, including staying away from the victims’ family.
