Jacqueline Abad, 53, and Sara Armijo, 51, were killed as they were traveling on a roadway to Belmopan City in a Grey Dodge passenger van as part of their Carnival Cruise trip, the Belize Police Department confirmed Thursday. Abad and Armijo's van struck a red Chevy SUV head on when it entered their lane to overtake another vehicle.
Five other Americans were wounded in the crash, carrying injuries ranging from broken legs and arms to cuts, pelvic fractures, abrasions and dislocated knee caps. The three passengers in the red SUV, all Belizean, died on impact, police said. The driver of that vehicle was at fault, authorities added.
Carnival Cruise confirmed that seven of its guests were involved in the accident while on an independent tour of Belize on Wednesday. The passengers were on a 7-day voyage with Carnival Vista that departed Galveston on Saturday, Nov. 23, with an expected return of Saturday, Nov. 30.

Seriously though, that's horrible!
That’s a great line. Chef lost his mind.
So, five people died but to NBC, only the Americans matter.
RIP.
And then he lost his head.
We’ve driven that road a number of times. Wide, good visibility, no potholes. No reason at all for a head on collision.
Belizean drivers are reasonably sane.
So sad - five killed.
Yeah, was there a couple of years ago. Really nice place. Costa Rica is also an amazing place. The rest of Central America, you have to be careful.
