<p><strong><a rel="nofollow" class="highslide" target="_blank" href="http://edition.channel5belize.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/sEGURA-UP0002.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-103058" title="sEGURA UP0002" src="http://edition.channel5belize.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/sEGURA-UP0002-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225"/></a>On Saturday, there was a terrible road traffic accident near Succotz on the George Price Highway. Two vehicles were involved, one a small taxi and the other a Nissan SUV. In the taxi were fifty-four-year-old Yolanda Valencia and her cousin, Yanie Cu. Valencia died on the spot, and her cousin was badly injured. The other vehicle was being driven at the time by Deputy Commissioner of Police Miguel Segura. By Monday Segura, a highly decorated career cop, had been placed on interdiction. By Tuesday, after the results of a blood alcohol content test came in, he was arrested and charged with six separate traffic offences. But while the wheels of justice have broken speed records in Segura’s case, there are calls for more punishment. That’s largely due to a video which went viral after the accident. It showed Segura lighting a cigarette and buttoning his pants after the accident. It elicited a howl of dismay, disgust and outrage – this cop calmly taking a smoke while people were injured just feet away. Well News Five has obtained a copy of another video shot seconds after the accident, and it paints a somewhat different picture. We’ll show it to you in its entirety, and we warn you that some of the scenes are a little graphic, so you may want to exercise parental discretion.</strong></p>

The short clip which has gone viral was shot after this video, and after the driver was assisted out of his vehicle. We have been unable to reach Segura for comment. </strong></p>
