By Belize Live News Staff: The turn was signalled for St. Peter’s Street. The motorcycle was coming along Dunn. Where their paths crossed on Saturday morning, an Orange Walk Town intersection collected another collision, and a rider collected the injuries.
The Belize Police Department reports that a 31-year-old manager came forward on Saturday, August 1, 2026, reporting that at about 11:05 a.m. he was driving a silver Mitsubishi Outlander along Dunn Street toward St. Peter’s Street when, as he moved to make the left turn, a black motorcycle collided with the left side of his vehicle.
The SUV wears the evidence along its flank: scraped and dented doors on the driver and left rear passenger side, a broken left mirror, and a broken, dislocated under-fender. The motorcycle answered with its own damage, a broken front wheel guard and a broken right-side fender near the fuel tank, and its rider came away with abrasions to the right leg, receiving medico-legal forms from police.
Scenes of crime personnel processed the intersection, sketch plan and measurements taken, and the paperwork phase began. The SUV driver has given his statement, and it comes with a clear position: he does not accept fault, though he is willing to settle the matter through insurance. The rider’s statement is yet to be recorded, meaning the full picture still has a missing half.
Until both accounts sit side by side, fault stays where police left it, undetermined, and no names appear here.
The small mercy of the morning is the injury list, abrasions rather than anything graver, in a month when the district’s motorcycle collisions have too often read worse. The lesson stays parked at every corner in the town: the left turn across traffic is the oldest trap on the road, and it catches cars and bikes alike. Eyes twice, turn once.
The investigation continues.
