Family and friends of Chad Anton Borland are mourning the 28-year-old, who died in a crash on the Hummingbird Highway near Belmopan on Friday. Borland was described as a “wonderful young man”. 

Borland died following a traffic accident near La Cabana Bar in Belmopan shortly after 4 p.m. Officers found a black Mazda about 150 feet off the road, badly damaged in the bushes. Borland was on the ground. He was rushed to the Western Regional Hospital, where doctors later pronounced him dead.

Police also found 28-year-old Jeffrey Perez with injuries to the back of his head.

According to early investigation, the Mazda was travelling from the Belmopan roundabout towards Armenia when it veered off the highway.

Meanwhile, in a separate road traffic accident, a father lost his life. Reports are that Ramzi Asaad was on his way from Belize City to Dangriga when he was involved in a fatal collision on the Coastal Road. Images show a small SUV and a heavy-duty cargo truck at the scene following the crash.
