Family Seeks Justice After Loved One Dies from Injuries in June Accident

A family in the Cayo District is demanding justice for their loved one, who died three months after being injured in a road traffic incident in June. Three months ago, 24-year-old Kaver Smith and his two cousins were injured in an early morning accident on Buena Vista Street, San Ignacio. Around 3 o’clock, the men were walking on the street when they were hit from behind a vehicle. Smith sustained severe injuries and spent forty days at the KHMH fighting for his life. He was released in July, but on Sunday morning, he was re-admitted due to complications. Unfortunately, Smith lost the battle and died shortly after being admitted. Love News spoke to his mother, Carla Smith, who says that his family is extremely disappointed with the police’s investigation.

Smith added that her son sustained severe brain damage and never managed to regain full consciousness. Police had detained the driver of the vehicle, Wayne Henry, who claimed that he saw the men but wasn’t able to avoid hitting them. Henry was served a notice of intended prosecution, but the police are yet to charge him.  Smith’s death has sparked outrage on social media, especially among his family and friends demanding justice.
