Around 8 o'clock last night, a Corozal woman was knocked down and killed. Orelia Blanco was riding her 4 year old daughter, Liseli Tun, on a bicycle on the San Andres Road heading towards Xaibe village - when she was knocked down from behind by a gold ford explorer. When police arrived on the scene, Blanco was already dead, lying face-up in a pool of blood. Her 4 year old daughter was taken to the Karl Huesner Memorial hospital, and is listed tonight in a stable condition. Police have detained the two occupants of the vehicle, and are still trying to determine which of the two was driving at the time of the incident. Police also believe that both men were under the influence of alcohol.
