It would be interesting to know if a blood sample was taken for alcohol or drugs. Someone must have known where he came from the night. Sad to see the young people loose their lifes like this. I think thats the second bad accident in that same spot. The bustop there was riped of by an accident last year too.
HE WAS ASLEEP IN BED AND GOT A CALL FROM HIS SISTER WHO ASKED TO PICK HER UP FROM BEING OUT @DODDELL .. RIP YOUNG BLOOD
Please people, take you all time, and not your life.
I don’t understand some people, the man can’t even die and Rest In Peace, you have to associate his death with drugs and alcohol, even though the article never mentioned it.
Drivers need to learn to wear seatbelts when they are in a vehicle. The number of drivers and passengers who don’t wear seatbelts in Saint Lucia is shocking. People need to realise that in an accident you have no control over your body. You are basically a rag doll. The seatbelt is the only thing available to keep you stable. Please wear it.
P.S Not saying that this was the case in this accident though. Ma Tay la!
What a sad situation..
Trying to figure out the location based on the image…mnc? Sunbelt? I see endless construction material. Speed. Sad sad.
I think its high time St. Lucia begin the process for ‘ STATE OWNED BUSSES ‘ and instead of Cash, institute ‘TICKET’ payment. Now this has nothing to do with some private vehicle drivers who drive with little regards on the Road, but it would in a way put a dent in the competition. What would also help is, heavy fines for Alcohol drinkers found driving and jerk the license for habitual offenders. Why do more accidents happen at happen places than others?
Correction: ‘why do accidents occur in certain places more than others’
R.I.P. SIR, AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICE A BLACK DOG WITH NO DAMAGE MINDING HIS BUSINESS.
Good observation Sexygirl. Maybe the dog could tell the story. Nevertheless the authorities need to take strong actions against those who break the roaroad rules before they break anything else. Slow down my people
If only had obey and listen to instructions,life would have been save ❗
