Two brothers are fortunate to be alive after a terrible motorcycle accident in Orange Walk. It happened last night at around 10:00. Artemio Yam and his little brother Jose Yam were heading to San Lazaro when Artemio lost control of the cycle. Jose was badly injured. Police told us more.
ACP Joseph Myvett
"What the police know so far is that the older of the Yam's, Artemio was driving a black motorcycle towards the direction of San Lazaro village from August Pine Ridge when he seemingly lost control we believe, from the initial information we received, causing both to be injured, Jose Yam receiving the more severe part of those injuries because he ended up with his left foot below the knee amputated during the accident. Police are investigating this matter."
Police can't say if the brothers were wearing helmets or if speeding or drinking were factors in this case. Both men are in a stable condition.
