There was an accident this evening in Ladyville.
Denfield Tillett from Flowers Bank is the victim.
It happened around 5:30.
As we understand it, Tillett was northbound on a motorbike when he tried to overtake a bus. But when he was already overtaking he realized there was a vehicle in front of the bus and traffic was approaching from the other direction.
He tried to squeeze between the vehicle in front of the bus and an oncoming pickup - but could not make it.
He hit the vehicle in front of the bus and then careened into the oncoming pickup.
He only received a few abrasions.
Prince Harry Impressed With Belize
Earlier on in the news - we showed you some of Prince Harry's whirlwind tour of Belize.
IT has garnered major international headline - and the BTB is hoping to seize upon that by putting an interview with the Prince front and center in their marketing of the event.
Interviews with Royalty are rare but our colleague Janelle Chanona - working on behalf of the BTB - got a chance to have a brief one on one with him - where he spoke about his impressions of Belize:..
Janelle Chanona
"Your Highness, has Belize Lived up to your expectations?"
Prince Henry of Wales
"Definitely, this is my first visit. I heard a few things from my grandmother on her last visit; she said how amazing it is. It really has, completely, the scenery that this place has to offer, and the location here is absolutely fantastic. So yeah, it's outdone it's expectations as far as I'm concerned."
Janelle Chanona
"Now, 2012 is an important year for Belize because it is the year of the Maya. What did you think of Xunantunich, and what were your thoughts as you climbed to the top of El Castillo?"
Prince Henry of Wales
"Xunantunich is fantastic. It's slightly bizarre too, from what was sitting here, to think what was happening all those hundreds of years ago. And right here, it probably wasn't anything like this, but the music, the fun and the lot was probably the same. But it's fantastic; the view from up there is incredible. In fact, they've managed to sort of keep this with as much of the natural beauty around this local area as much as they can. It's fantastic - it's amazing."
Janelle Chanona
"I know that this has been a whirlwind visit of Belize, but what memories stood out most for you during this visit."
Prince Henry of Wales
"Without doubt, the people, it's about 300,000 people in Belize. I think driving from the airport back and forth along the roads, I feel as though we've seen at least three-quarters of those - of the population. But, the people are fantastic. The welcome we've gotten since we got here yesterday until today, it feels like I've been here for a week. The sun's out; I'm sweating; I'm very warm. But the music, the culture, people - everything is fantastic, and I hope to come back very soon, and hopefully without all the cameras and stuff, and have kinda bit of a holiday."
Janelle Chanona
"Well, I'm just going to ask, and on that holiday, what would you want to do? I know Mrs. Barrow spoke to you about diving and snorkeling, and..."
Prince Henry of Wales
"Yeah, I'll do as much as I can, but there's no way that I'd tell anybody. I'll keep it to myself."
