Vehicle Disrupts Cayo Woman’s Peaceful Hammock Rest
Imagine relaxing in a hammock at home when a vehicle suddenly crashes through the fence and onto the property. That is what police say happened on Macal Street in San Ignacio, where the vehicle struck a resident before colliding with the house. The victim has opted to pursue compensation rather than court action, but that may not end the case. Police are still examining whether the driver’s actions amount to driving without due care and attention.
ASP Stacy Smith, Staff Officer
“On seventh November, around two o’clock, police in San Ignacio responded to the scene of a traffic accident at a residence on Macal Street, where they observed a vehicle that had collided into a fence and into a home. What we have learned so far is that a female was at home lying down in a hammock when she heard a collision and realized that she had been struck by a vehicle. The female in this particular instance has not requested court action, solely to be compensated. However, the matter is still being investigated from the perspective of driving without due care and attention. We have obtained urine specimen from the person of interest who was initially detained but has been served with a notice of intended prosecution and has been released, and as further updates are made that would be made known to the media.”
