A tragic roadway incident in southern Belize has culminated in the issuance of a Notice of Intended Prosecution to Juan Lionardo, a 44-year-old resident of Duck Run Village. The driver stands accused of fatally striking 68-year-old Houston Reynolds on the Thomas Vincent Ramos Highway this past Friday evening. The victim was reportedly traversing the route on foot toward Kendall Village when the collision occurred in the Maya Center vicinity. Preliminary police investigations indicate the incident transpired between miles thirteen and fourteen at approximately 7:15 p.m., resulting in Reynolds’ instantaneous demise. Critical examination of the circumstances reveals a confluence of contributing elements, notably the severely compromised visibility along unilluminated road sections and the pedestrian’s impaired state due to alcohol consumption. Accounts from local residents confirm Reynolds had been observed sleeping on the asphalt surface approximately an hour preceding the accident, with attempts made to relocate him to safety. The deceased, remembered by longtime companion Algin Logan as an avid farmer and produce vendor originally from Sittee River, becomes another statistic in the ongoing discourse surrounding roadway safety and public welfare. Authorities continue investigating the precise sequence of events while the community mourns the loss of a lifelong resident.
