And in another case of what may have been drunk driving causing a death….a man who came to Belize on vacation with his fiancé was lucky to escape going to jail on remand today.
On Friday, 39 year old Isaac Jeremy Flores was driving a golf cart with his fiance 40 year old Jennifer Hernandez, as his Passenger on the secret beach road in San Pedro town on Friday December 6th when Flores allegedly flew over a bump causing Hernandez to fall out of the golf cart and sustain fatal injuries.
Flores was detained in San Pedro and was read four charges of, causing death by careless conduct, reckless driving, and drove without due care and attention and failing to provide a specimen analysis. The magistrate in San Pedro granted him bail of $10,000, plus one surety of $5,000 which he was able to meet.
Flores, who is a finance officer, was represented in court by attorney Dickie Bradley. Flores says that he has yet to get in contact with his fiance's family to begin making funeral preparations for her.
Jeremy Flores, On Bail for Driving Offences
"I've been incarcerated with no access to communicate to anybody in the States. And that's what hurts the most, too, is I've got to go back home. It was God's will and God's choosing that it's going to be really hard to accept."
"And I have to live with the fact that I didn't keep her safe."
Conditions to his bail are that he is to attend the Preliminary Inquiry, and High Court Arraignment and trial when set.
Flores and Hernandez were part of a group of 24 persons visiting Belize.
