The mother of the youngest passenger, 21 year old Efrain Martinez says she didn't know if her son had been drinking - but she did learn that he was headed to Botes. She spoke off camera to CTV-3 in Orange Walk today when she went to get her son's body.
Voice of: Paula Martinez
"They haven't told us anything, we haven't heard anything, only that they lost control and went into the river."
"I will carry him in my heart. He is my son and I gave him birth. I will never forget him."
Both women - girlfriend and mother - say it was the first time they knew their loved one to be headed to Botes.
