In a sobering revelation, the National Forensic Science Service (NFSS) of Belize has disclosed that two out of every three individuals involved in road traffic accidents had alcohol levels significantly exceeding the legal limit. This statistic, which includes drivers, passengers, and even pedestrians, underscores a pervasive issue in the country’s road safety landscape. The data, collected from 179 samples analyzed between January and June 2025, reveals alcohol concentrations of over 180 milligrams per 100 milliliters of blood or 107 milligrams per 100 milliliters of urine in many cases. These findings highlight the critical role of alcohol impairment in fatal and non-fatal crashes across Belize.
