A 21-year-old man lost his life in a traffic incident on Christmas Eve, in the Spanish Lookout community. Police reported that just after 10pm officers responded to a crash along Center Road, approximately 300 yards from Universal Hardware. At the scene, officers found the body of Hispanic male, later identified as Emyl Castillo Choma, lying motionless under a white sheet about 25 feet off the roadway. A black Lifan brand motorcycle with extensive front-end damage was found nearby.
