Ugly Accident At Western Border
posted (March 9, 2018)
There was a very gruesome accident this morning at the Cargo area at Belize's Western Border in Benque Viejo.

An 18 wheeler ran over 38 year old Guatemalan Marcus Zabaleta and he got mangled between the wheels. Reports say that Zabaleta may have been sleeping under the truck in the cargo section and the driver - also a Guatemalan - started driving off without even knowing he was underneath. He dragged him for a few hundred feet, leaving a trail of blood in the loading area.

Police and fire department personnel had to remove his crushed remains from between the wheels and put the body - or what remained of it - on a stretcher for transport to the morgue.

The driver is 53-year-old Guatemalan Jose Alfredo Guevara is expected to face charges.
