Motorcyclist Killed in Fatal Crash with Bus in Belmopan

On Thursday October 16 at the corner of St. Matthews and St. Jude Streets in the San Martin area of Belmopan police responded to a fatal traffic incident. This time between a bus and a motorcycle.

Assistant Superintendent of Police, Stacy Smith: “Upon arrival at the scene, the officers observed a Westline bus and a Sky-Go-Brun motorcycle, both of which exhibited damages.  What the investigation has disclosed so far is that the bus was traveling on St. Matthew Street in the San Martin area from a north to west direction when, upon reaching the intersection of St. Jude and St. Matthew Street, a collision occurred between the bus and a Skygo brand motorcycle,  which was coming from a west to south direction on St. Jude Street.  The cycle was driven at the time by Johnny Cano, 18 years of age, and he was accompanied by Hamin Patt, 18 years of age, both of whom are students.  As a consequence of the collision, both Pat and Kano were flung from the cycle and received varying degrees of injuries.  Both individuals were ferried to the hospital. However, Kano has since succumbed to the injuries that he sustained while Pat is listed in a stable condition.  The driver of the bus, Jonathan Estrada, has since been served with a notice of intended prosecution in relation to this ongoing investigation.”
