Authorities in Cayo District have taken a 26-year-old man into custody following a deadly three-vehicle crash that left one cyclist dead and another motorist injured early Sunday morning, local law enforcement confirmed this week. The fatal incident, which unfolded on a curved stretch of road near Billy White Village shortly after 2 a.m. on August 16, 2026, claimed the life of 37-year-old Marcello Moh, a resident of nearby Santa Familia Village. A second victim, 26-year-old Aidan Humes—also from Santa Familia Village—survived the crash with non-fatal injuries, police confirmed.
According to official statements from Assistant Superintendent Stacy Smith, Staff Officer for the investigating unit, responding law enforcement was alerted to the collision within minutes of it occurring, launching an immediate probe into the circumstances of the crash. Initial findings from the investigation outline a clear sequence of events: the detained suspect was operating a Ford F-150 pickup truck traveling from Billy White Village toward Santa Familia Village when the vehicle reached a curve in the road. At that point, the pickup collided with both Humes’ motorcycle and Moh’s bicycle, which were traveling in the area at the time of the incident.
Both road users were rushed to receive emergency medical care immediately following the crash. Moh, who sustained severe life-threatening injuries in the impact, did not recover and passed away while undergoing treatment. Humes, meanwhile, was treated for his injuries and remains in care as of the latest update from law enforcement.
As of Tuesday, August 17, authorities have not released additional details about potential charges, the condition of Humes, or contributing factors such as speed, weather, road conditions or impairment. Smith confirmed that the full circumstances surrounding the collision remain an active and ongoing investigation, with police working to piece together all details of the fatal incident.
