Today around 7PM at the junction of Rt 30 East and Bee Lane there was a near-collision between a motorcycle and a small dark-colored car. According to a witness, the car made a left turn directly in the path of an oncoming motorbike. Even though there was no contact the move caused the bike driver to lose control, landing him on the ground several yards away. An ambulance carried him to a medical center but the extent of his injuries are unknown.
Mennonite businessmen from Orange Walk were the victims of an armed assault in BlackMan Eddy Village, near Spanish Lookout by the Iguana Creek junction. According to a report the Mennonites stopped to refuel their vehicle during which time unkown men approached them and demanded money. One of the victims attempted to flee but was injured from shots fired at him by one of the robbers. He then complied and handed over a bag of money containing several thousand dollars. The robbers then escaped.
