So, as you saw in our interview, the family of Jordy Bainton wants to know what will happen to the driver who knocked him down. At a police press conference this afternoon, the head of the National Criminal Investigations Branch shared what their investigation into the accident has revealed so far:
ACP Joseph Myvette, Head, NCIB
"Police were called to Chetumal Boulevard where they observed a blue mac truck which was north bound on the boulevard and just in front of the truck they observed the motionless body of a male person later identified as Jordy Bainton 44 years of a Belize City address. Nearby they found a black bicycle which was extensively damaged. What we were able to ascertain is that Mr. Bainton seemingly was riding on the left hand side of the divider north bound and he attempted to cross the divider just about where the pedestrian ramp is and in so doing he was not seen by the driver who had recently stopped and had just taken off. The driver was taken into custody where samples were take from him and he was served with NIP and later released pending further investigation into this matter."
Bainton's family stresses that he takes great care while traveling on the Philip Goldson Highway.
