The red yute dat does walk up and down the highway from Marisule to Choc,you guys didn’t count him as a statistic…..a friend told me a car bounce him and he passed away…….
Again Its sad sad news all the time here. It had to take alot of speed to get that impact. So sad. Cant we have a week here incident free for once
@jon public, he is not dead, he was in an accident but can’t walk, so he is with his parents.
He was right next to me last night rip bro
@shabin, he is my cousin his name is Christopher Augustin and he did succumb and passed away after being on life support machine for almost 3 weeks.
I grew up in Marisule,I knew him personally,have no idea to what caused him to be So but he was once a normal person…RIP Chris……it’s almost like he wanted to vacate this earth…always walking in the road and not the sidewalks even at nights.
@Docdell they are not charged for over speeding neither drunk driving in St. Lucia. You seem to be writing from out of the country. At the scene of all these accidents, no one checks whether drivers were at the wheel under the influence of alcohol. A rum shop at every corner. Even the policemen are there sometimes while on duty. With the state of things right now, good luck with your wish for an incident free week.
Considering our road n highways n weather we we should seriously consider a change in our vehicle headlamps from white lights to yellow ‘ ah la Francais,, Martinique
Why doesn’t a large community like Bexon still doesn’t have it’s own 🚒 fire station and police 🚓 station
It’s sickening that we commoners always have the solutions compared to the authorities who have nothing to say or do…just worthless from the minister to the ps to the engineers. Why can’t there be a road safety drive? Why so many dangerous obstacles along our roads, why speed limit cannot be enforced….why drunk drivers are not charged…sad state of affairs…..rip to shabin fella who traversed the choc hill!
Drunk drivers are not charge because the police do most of the drinking….make it make sense.
There must be a curse on St. Lucia Roads, damn it.
