CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILIES.
I THINK THE RISE IN ACCIDENTS IS DUE TO THE MISUSE OF CELL PHONES.
WE SHOULD NOT USE THE CELL PHONES (DATA) WHILE DRIVING OR RIDING OUR MOTOCYCLES. SAME REASON YOU NOT SUPPOSE TO USE IT ON THE AIRPLANE, SAME REASON YOU NOT SUPPOSE TO USE INSIDE A BUS.
MAINLY BECAUSE THE RADIATION THE CELLULAR MICROWAVE DATA USES TEND TO MAKE US DROWSY AND SOMETIMES SICK(COUGHING, ICHING,….) .

Am so sorry with heartbreaking news, condoléances to the familly at such a moment of griefs and unbearable and unexpected…
It’s high time St. Lucia consider putting “guard rails” to protect precious lives. It can be done.
St. Lucians please ask the Government for “Guard Rails” to be placed in such dangerous places.
#protectPreciouslives.
#GuardsRailsneeded.
#Dangerousroads.
#Neednow.
Condolences to the grieving families; it is indeed a sad situation. But those who comment on the lack of guard rails are missing the point. They need to talk to the drivers who know the condition of the road yet they seem to place very little value on the lives of their passengers by the way they drive or the condition of their busses. Folks need to stop blaming the government, road conditions or guard rails. Blame some of the drivers.
