A recreational Sunday evening ride culminated in fatal consequences near Trial Farm Village, resulting in the death of thirty-three-year-old Delty Cordova. The incident occurred when a group of motorcyclists traveling from Corozal to Orange Walk encountered a sudden maneuver by an unlicensed teenage driver.
According to official reports from ASP Stacy Smith, the collision was triggered when a sixteen-year-old minor, accompanied by an eighteen-year-old passenger, executed an abrupt left turn without signaling. This unexpected movement caused another rider, identified as Mr. Banks, to collide with the rear of the teenager’s vehicle. The impact propelled Cordova onto the pavement with fatal force.
The victim’s sister, Jess Cordova, provided emotional testimony regarding the circumstances. She revealed that her sister had only recently increased her motorcycle riding frequency within the past few months. Jess characterized the incident as a case of preventable recklessness, stating that her sister’s death resulted from irresponsible actions rather than any fault of her own.
Social media speculation prompted Jess to clarify that her sister was neither operating the motorcycle nor under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident. She issued a public plea for greater road safety awareness, emphasizing that drivers must consider others sharing the roadways.
Law enforcement authorities have detained both the minor operator and the adult who permitted the unlicensed teenager to drive the motorcycle. Official legal proceedings have been initiated with the service of a notice of intended prosecution.
