Belizean authorities have formally charged 35-year-old William Aleman of Burrell Boom Village in connection with a fatal road traffic accident that resulted in the death of 24-year-old Brian Miguel. The tragic incident occurred on Saturday afternoon at approximately 3:30 p.m. along the miles forty and forty-one corridor.
Aleman faces multiple serious charges including manslaughter by negligence, causing death by careless conduct, and operating a motor vehicle without due care and attention. The charges stem from a collision involving Aleman’s Ford F-150 pickup truck and Miguel’s motorcycle.
According to police reports, the impact of the collision was severe enough to eject Miguel—a farmer from St. Matthews Village—several yards from his motorcycle, resulting in his immediate death at the scene.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Stacy Smith, who is overseeing the investigation, provided clarification regarding impairment suspicions. “No sample was taken from Mr. Aleman,” ASP Smith stated, “as his conduct did not suggest anybody who was under the influence of intoxicants at the time of the incident.”
The case highlights ongoing road safety concerns in the region and underscores the legal consequences of negligent driving behavior. The judicial process against Aleman is now underway as authorities continue to investigate the precise circumstances that led to the fatal collision.
