Belmopan police are investigating a fatal road traffic accident that claimed the life of a well-known businessman on Saturday, April 26.
The accident occurred on the George Price Boulevard near the Golden Phoenix Supermarket, where the deceased, 34-year-old Skyler Williams of Belmopan, was riding a motorcycle while carrying his female cousin, 26-year-old Chelsea Nicholson, as a passenger.
As they were traveling on the boulevard, the motorcycle collided with a van being driven by 47-year-old Teresa de los Angeles Reyes from Frank’s Eddy Village, which hit Williams’ motorcycle on its left side, causing him and Nicholson to be flung off the bike and onto the pavement.
Williams was alive at the scene but received head and body injuries and was pronounced dead shortly after being transported to the Western Regional Hospital. Nicholson, on the other hand, received scratches and complained of pain in her ribs, but remains in a stable condition at the hospital.
ACP Hilberto Romero, Regional Commander for the Belize Police Department’s Eastern Division, told reporters that a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) was served to Torres, and samples of her body fluids have been collected to determine whether she was under the influence of alcohol or some other substance when the accident took place.
Williams was well-loved in the community and by his family. He had fathered three boys, two with longtime partner, Jody Domingo, who described him as a hardworking man who loved his children.
“Skyler da mi love … Skyler was a lot of energy, so business-minded. From the first time I met him, he was always about ‘how I could make an extra dollar’, [and] ‘how I could make this money’. Belmopan was his home. He knew everybody, so they were drawn to see what he was doing. He brought a lot of business to our home, because we started from our house. From there, he kept pushing. He got certificates. He did a few different things here and there,” she mentioned.
“… He put his blood, sweat, and tears. People tell you he’s out at night selling food across from Wingz and the other club spots. He was dedicated; and, because I had my two boys, and he knew that he had to deliver and make sure ends met, he kept that grind, even on days when he wasn’t feeling his best,” Domingo added.
Williams was also known as a pit-master, as he was skilled in barbecuing meats and would routinely sell such meals in the community.
He left behind three sons, ages 10, 8, and 1.
