An elderly couple from San Narciso Village in the Corozal District was killed today when a Freightliner towhead obliterated the Ford Ranger they were in.  

It happened at around 2:00 on the Phillip Goldson Highway in front of the San Narciso Community clinic.  The Ranger, driven by 74 year old Mario Chan was northbound turning into the clinic when the southbound Freightliner hit it.  

It was a massive collision that literally snapped the small pickup into two.  Ramona Chan sustained the greatest impact; she was in the passenger’s seat and is reported to have died on the spot, while her husband, Mario, the driver, died while on his way to the KHMh for emergency treatment.  

The family was very traumatized by the accident and the loss of their parents and grandparents today. We’ll have more tomorrow.

The freightliner was driven by 35 year old Erik Ermoff.
