Members of the Traffic Department are conducting investigations into a road traffic accident which led to the death of 74-year-old Augustine St. Ville of Fond St. Jean residing at Wall House.
The accident occurred on Leopool Street in Wall House about 9:45pm on Sunday, September 2012.
Injured are 49-year-old Roy Eusebe of Laplaine residing at Wall House and 39-year-old Janice Bruno of Point Michel.
According to the police the collision occurred when a Suzuki jeep, registration number, PR339 which was being driven by St. Ville in a northerly direction, ran off the road and collided with a concrete wall causing the driver to lose control.
The vehicle went on to strike a utility pole then went down a slope about 21 feet.
All the occupants of the vehicle were transported to the Princess Margaret Hospital Accident and Emergency Department where St. Ville was pronounced dead upon arrival by a medical practitioner.
The other occupants were treated and admitted because of injuries.
A coroner’s inquest will be convened to be followed by a post mortem examination to determine the cause of death. The vehicle was extensively damaged.
Investigations are continuing.
long time ago i know ,apologies for spelling and grammar now . this isn’t about that right now.
Although a long time ago , i’m just wondering if i could ask if anyone could give me more information.
I see comments that say ‘Brother or Uncle?
this was my Grandad as married to my Grandmother Mrs Stville .
I’m not even sure where he was laid to rest ? with my Nanna Edna ? Who took control or responsibility for his funeral? who is living in his house now ?
Is anybody willing to help me know what happened and where he is laid to rest?
I lost my Nana 5.5.12
I lost my Daughter 5.5.12
then my Grandad Gus who, after his wife’s passing changed and drunk a lot.
my Dad who also passed 6.2.16 from Cancer was treated so bad by Gus and other people who were in the house. this was out of character . This was not my Grandad that brought me and my sister up as his own -married to my dads Mother Edna Stville.
I would love more information , love to know where Grandad is…
I sympathize with the family of the dead man.Roy i wish u speady recovery.Sorry to hear this, but u got to give God thanks and praise u r alive today.Remember the Lord chastises those he love.This is a wake up call for u,donnot ignor it.Will see u soon.Take ur strength from Jesus
i am so sarry!
This is sad. Sorry to read about the accident and of the injuries and death.
I am wondering if the elderly man had an attack of some sort which caused him to veer off the road or that the vehicle had a mechanical problem. Either one could have happened.
My heartfelt sympathy to his family. May his soul rest in peace. Amen!
For those who are injured I hope in time you will fully recover.
I am reading the article and I am shaking my head
as a human being as a Dominican.and I am asking
didn’t I just read about someone who died in an accident. If anything we should all take a step
back and realize how unpredictable life is. That
lady who died had no idea and the people she spoke with had no idea that this is the last time
they would see her.It could happen to anyone of us,Life is Short it is Precious,There are examples
everyday.Whatever happen to “today is yours tomorrow is mine”.Is there anyone who thinks that what happen to that lady can’t happen to them?
Come on my people we are better than that. lIVE
LAUGH AND LOVE.Condolences to the family and best wishes to those who were injured. May God Bless us as a nation and my God guide us to love one another as he loves us. Peace!
tomorrow

R.I.P Brother. my father has lost a friend. To the St. Ville family at Fond St Jean, Boetica and overseas i know you have lost a father, a friend an Uncle, A Brother. Hold on my people and lean on the Lord for Comfort. He told us he will never give us more than we can bear. Be strong and know that all is well.
no photos of the accident? DNO u lapsing
He couldnt waith for his wife to die to bring he g/friend it and now he not there to enjoy the house.
All you not easy nuh. If they wife died then he is a free man again so he eh doing nothing wrong.
Seems like you are a hater of Hermia leave the lady personal life alone
please message me
May his soul rest in peace n may the ones who made it, I hope they get well very soon
ummmm…dno there was a fire in colihat where 3 houses got burnt since sunday…. i find all u a bit tooo slow these days
So how can this be news if DNO is not informed that there was a fire? Should they have a crystal ball? Stupes!!!!
for 3 houses to burn in colihaut right on the highway and dno does not know????? something is wrong!!!!!!!!!!! perhaps staffing issues
Please send the information and pictures to DNO; they can’t be everywhere all the time. I never heard about that fire till today. Everybody in Colihaut have bb and internet they could have contacted DNO too.
No other news source (web) had this … I found out via facebook because of someone who lives there. It could be other reasons why it did not reach them.
Condolences to the family.
REST IN PEACE my old friend.
I cannot believe someone is dead and some people are more concerned with spellings of places and typos in comments. Grow up Dominicans!
So you think that it was inappropriate for me to comment on the correct spelling of the word “L’allé Coco”, but you have no raction to the comment from the person who said that:
“He couldn’t wait for his wife to die to bring he g/friend in and now he not there to enjoy the house”.?
That only reveals that you’re one of those numerous small-minded Dominicans who are an embarrassment to our country! It’s people like you who hold back progress!
Damn idiot!!
Teacher.. why do you have to stoop so low as to insult the person and call them an idiot?
This is the only reason why I do not frequent DNO anymore… people are too insensitive when they comment.
Teacher, you, also, are an idiot. You began a sentence with the word So. You know that’s a no-no-right? You also wrote “raction” instead of reaction.
Check yourself before you correct people.
Uncle we will miss you. We spoke to u early that day never knew that would be the last time hearing from you. We are trying to hold on.
crazy people
So sad but anyway broda or Joe as I knew him rest in peace and so long u lost ur wife and now u anyways once more R.I.P
accept my sympathy i dont know if i know him but its quite painful seek support from friends family loved ones and the community
may his soul rest in peace
my heart goes out to the families.
where is the woman involved in the accident from?
Is it madrelle, Loubiere?>
Pointe Michel she from. Well his wife called him home to her. This year the man bury his wife poor thing. RIP
Thanks for the correcton “check yourself”. It was a simple “typo” on my part. I am mature and intelligent enough to accept and recognize genuine criticism, just as DNO does (I think).
I was not being negative or disrespectful to DNO. I am simply a Native son trying to make a positive contribution.
Just because I spelled a word wrong, doesn’t mean that DNO didn’t also provide incorrect spelling.
I am an individual. DNO is a News organization. They have an obligation to be accurate. I don’t!
Think about that!
you look for your mapwey .d.n.o dont have to call lenox honeychurch.if we know patoir we will no what they talking about .you there critizing those people patoir and you cannot write english .smh
I didn’t look for “Maypwe”.I made a contribution, and everyone is free to make either negative or positive comments about what I said. I have absolutely no problem with that. You mentioned that I can’t write English?
Here is YOUR English, my friend:
“dont have to call”
“we will no what they talking about”
“you there critizing those people”
SMH . . .
I actually found your contribution informative and read over your typos. Afos D/cans hate to take correction.
They prefer wallow in not knowing rather than say ‘oh thanks. I didn’t know that.’
Thanks!
My comments were not meant to be disrespectful, nor insulting to DNO. I simply made a contribution. Those of us with a level of reason, common sense, and maturity know that. Everyone else just need to grow up!!
Sad story….
My sympathies to the family of the deceased!
A speedy recovery to those hospitalised!
This is really sad news. I pray Lord you give strength to the family and heal those injured and affected by this tragedy.
DNO: Did you get news of the accident that happen on sunday under the cliff on the highway ( can’t remember the place name) and of the three houses burnt down in Colihaut on sunday morning? Did not see any news on these incidents. Would like to know if the persons are ok.
may his soul rest in perfect peace.
RIP
Very sad and unfortunate accident. Condolences to the family of the deceased. Drive carefully, my Dominican people!
DNO, as a News organization/journalists, you have a responsibility and an obligation to be accurate. If ou’re not aware how to spell certain creole words, then simply ask Lennox Honyhurch, or someone else who knows. “L’allé Coco” was named for the numerous coconut trees which lined the bayfront in that area many years ago. It means “Coconut Alley”. They way that you spelled it means “The Lay of Cocoa” There were never any Cocoa trees in that area (I know because I’m from Loubiere).
Thanks.
well teacher i believe its “you’re” or for short “u’re” (in your second sentence) and you meant “the way you spelled…” instead of “they way you spelled” you so busy to correct DNO you failed to correct yourself.
teacher please correct your “ou’re” to “you’re” and your “they way that you spelled….” to “the way that you spelled…” before you try and correct DNO.Thanks
umm.. these are typos not… not internet spelling and even if it was internet spelling it would not be wrong
Everyone is entitled to make a typo . . . -___-
omg
not to mention,the c in church,no one is perfect.
woooohoooo kudos for you now teacher take that,who’s laughing now?
Dominicans please
stupes whats thats got to do with the headline
dude please.. before you try correcting patois, proof read and get your english right… everybody knows the area they don’t need history lessons from ‘honyhurch’ by the way is Honychurch to provide information to the public.. some of you are just to much.. Mr. Know it all.. choops mon
Well, the teacher put his foot in his mouth. He did not spell “Honychurch” correctly, in addition to the other misspelling which DNO pointed out. Teacher also does not appreciate the meaning of the word “alley.” The area was named “alley” because there were coconut trees on BOTH sides of the road. Teacher’s understanding that the area was called “alley” because of the coconut trees which lined only the bayfront borders on the ridiculous. “Coconut alley” presupposes two sides!
‘borders on the ridiculous?’ hahahaha. it is not that serious pal. All u dramatic too wee.
Some body is dead an dominicans acting like pigs because of a spelling O M G
rip uncle brother.may your soul rest in peace.
Mr St Ville may God grant you eternal rest. To your family and friends my heartfelt condolences and accept my deepest sympathy.
As DA records another death by accident, may God Almighty strengthen her people and drivers be careful as you navigate the roads.
Some bad news from home. Hopefully, this tragic incident will lead authorities to install barriers in that area to prevent further tragedies.
how that happen… Rest in Peace
Can somebody tell me where is the precipice is Lalay coco?
Thank you very much that’s what I’m trying to figure out… unless up Wall house have another La Lay Coco….With that said may his soul rest in peace…and God grant his family strength during such a sad time.
true, i jog down all that side. The accident happened up wallhouse overlooking lalle coco
Sad but true . May his soul R.I.P
Alas, alas! Condolences to the family and friends of the deceased. RIP in peace partner and may the injured have a speedy recovery.
Assertive, NOT Agressive!
we dont use alas at death, we all av to go
My sympathies to you Hermia. wish you speedy recovery at the hospital.
