"On Saturday, sometime around 6 pm, San Ignacio police was called to Spanish Lookout in relation to a fatal traffic accident. Upon arrival they met one Gerard Penner, 85 years, who was the driver of a van. Also on the seen police observed police observed a motorcycle in the front portion or just in front of the van. The lifeless body of two persons, a male and a female, was observed on the ground in the same vicinity. Those persons were identified as Abraham Penner, 51 years and his wife Irene Penner, 48 years. The police investigation so far indicated that both Abraham Penner and his wife were travelling on route 40 in Spanish Lookout when they were hit from behind resulting in the injuries that were caused to them and eventually their death. Police, at that point in time, did detain Mr. Gerard Penner where samples were taken from him and he was served with a notice off intended prosecution and also the driver of the van seemed to be not a special needs person but he is up in age, I should say."
Myvett could not say if the Penner couple was wearing helmets.
