Ladyville village, Belize District. Saturday, August 1, 2015. A Belize Defence Force (BDF) soldier was seriously injured in a road traffic accident late last night on the Phillip Goldson Highway.

Reports are that a north-bound Mahindra vehicle, driven by Sergeant Shawn Garbutt, overturned several times near Mile 8 on the Phillip Goldson Highway.

Preliminary information is that the accident happened around 11:30 pm on Friday, reportedly as a result of a driver’s side tire blowout.

Sergeant Garbutt who is assigned to the Training Company, Service and Support Battalion, was taken to the Karl Heusner Memorial hospital and was reported to have been unconscious.

The injured BDF soldier has reportedly since regained consciousness and remains hospitalized in Belize City.
