Police have confirmed that two people died in an early morning traffic accident on Saturday on the Mahaut village road.
According to the police, the accident occurred when a speeding motorcycle collided with a pedestrian.
The motorcyclist reportedly died on the spot while the pedestrian was rushed to hospital in critical condition. He later succumbed to his injuries.
The two have been identified as Yonnel Pascal and Leslie George.
A third individual is nursing wounds, not said to be critical, at the Princess Margaret Hospital.
The fatal accident occurred at about 3am Saturday.
DNO will provide more details as they become available.
Yonnell was my cousin
Firstly I’d like to say to the families of the desist, accept my condolences and hope you find peace.
I live abroad and it’s sad to constantly here of road traffic accidents and it’s nerve racking to go through the web to find out wether it’s one of your friends or worse, your relatives involved. I was on the island recently and shockingly nearly collided with a wreck less motorcyclist. The roads are lawless. The entire island is lawless and no one respects laws and regulations. People they are their for your safety and it’s 2012. The world is moving forward but yet Dominica remains primitive. This becomes more apparent when you live in a civil country like England or America. More traffic penalties should be imposed. Speeding and wreck less driving should not go by unnoticed. Drinking driving is also I major factor to a lot of these incidents and from my time on the island during December, I was astound to see the amount of drunk drivers operating vehicles. Do you know that in the uk it is elligal to ride without a helmet…. Not in Dominica. A lot of riders would be alive today if that was enforced. Sadly I hope one day Dominica will advance with the rest of the world.
From all this, we are drivers/bikers should take this tragedy as something positive. RIP Yonnel n Leslie u both are up there hand in hand. My Sympathy goes out to both families, MAY YOUR HEART FIND COMFORT IN THE LORD

I hate to disappoint you. I hope you took Catechism from youth and practice the faith. Let us face the fact. Do not be presumptious. This is a sin against the Holy Spirit. You must consider the life they lived. Only the holy enters Heaven and immediately so. Know what is contained in Holy Scripture. You should know what St. Paul said, “Nothing defiled will enter Heaven. I hope that God forgave them their sins. This is why He created Purgatory which some people denounce but it is a fact.
Were it not for Purgatory many more souls would go to Hell. It is the love and mercy of God. You better believe it.
Consider the life they lived, this is not for me,JUDGE NOT……. MAY THE FAMILIES OF BOTH INDIVIDUALS FIND COMFORT IN THE LORD
Justice n Truth, Judge not less ye be judge, did you se dat one; n u said it eh “it is the love and mercy of God”. they will answer to God, Once again my the families find comfort in the Lord, Thanks
@ Justice and Truth. I have a few Bibles that I read very often and for many years. I have never seen the word Purgatory. Justice and Truth, read a Bible. Purgatory doesn’t exist.There are only two ways and not three. The broad and narrow. One leads to Eternal life and the other to destruction. Purgatory is a lie used by the Roman Catholics and the devil to blind people and lead them to hell. Ask the Holy Spirit to help u. Be blessed!!
R.I.P YOUNG-P YOU WILL DEFINITELY BE MISSSED BY ALLL!!!!!…NOT FORGETTING UR CLOSEE FRIENDS AT SCHOOL, STUNNER GANGS,EVERYBODY U SWIVVV!!(WORDS SPOKEN FORM U)..SIGGH IT’S REALLY HARD BUT GOD KNEW WHY AND YOU’RE IN A BETTER PLACE…NO ONE WILL NEVERRR TAKE YOUR PLACE IN MY HEART ANT LIFE WHERE YOU’VE MADE A DIFFERENCE FOR MEE!!…LOVEEE YOUUU,WE’LL MEET AT THE CROSS ROADS!….
It’s SAD that after the accident Mahaut fellas had the nerve to steal dem man DJ equipment while de man dead on the ground. I personally know his people and the BEST thing for dem thieves to do is return de property OR THEY WILL LEARN THE HARD WAY!!!!!!!
rip
thats not fare
but the lord was ready
Another young soul taken too soon
Another one ridding too fast
This is quite too much!
Enough is enough!
This young boy was taken away from his loved ones at a so early ages.
He did get a chance to give life.
please people be cautious on roads you can kill your selves and others too.
This accident was one too much.
Tazie all my sympathie to you and the family. can use no other words to express the sadness I felt and still feel. May God bless you all and give you strenght to go through that harsh ordeal.
It hurts so bad dat u gone yonnel, don’t know how I’m gonna get thru this, God give me strength can’t stop crying you dies so innocently I miss you sooo much already ilove you see you soon boo
That was murder/suicide in Mahaut. I feel for both families but suicide can be done on a race track not the public road.
the bike rider got two kids, go talk you’re non sense somewhere else. both family members are hurt, it aint happen by his choice, if he had a choice he would have still be here with us right now. who are we to question what god decides on, they’re gone, they wont be with us no more, blaming him aint going to do nothing for you or for me, I WONT BRING NONE OF THEM BACK, two children are without and father , the other of this young man in mahaut without a son, go talk you’re crap else where

They need to make the enitire island a NO SPPED ZONE-this will project the foolish and the wise likewsie.
Introduce speeding ticket violations
]enforce use of head gear and seat belt and the list goes on- we are way to dumb in this country
voice
rest in peace fellers,, we all have to go one time or the other,,
rubbish country bookie if he wont speedin he would still be hear
love me,
We grieve with the loss. Nevertheless we really all have to go. If he wasn speeding then he would still be here to speed another day. All of us do things daily that endanger us, from eating to speeding. Let’s focus on being prepared to go.
let me tell u some thing i dont kno who u are and where u were wen it happened but i wonder if it was ur relative that was the motorcycle rider wat would u say
Go post you’re crap somewhere else you idiot.
R.I.P Leslie. My good friend since we kids. Last time I saw u, you told me we go link up later during the Mero feast but never did. I guess we will meet again in the upper room. Sad sad

wow….lost for words …rip ghost
This is very sad. I am not sure how much is preventable but loss of life with motorbike related accidents is on the rise. Whether the deaths were head related or not; just a reminder that helmets and seatbelts saves lives and should be mandatory in Dominica. We can blame alot of factors, but ultimately all users of the road have responsibiliies to themselves and others too.
In this time of mourning,let’s pray together as a nation for those who are hurting at this time,everything under the sun has its time and season,and God gives us only what we are able to bare,let us pray
never thought i’d be one of those to lose a friend/cousin so young in life and this kinda way. Cut down by someone’s foolishness RIP cuz never forgotten and for the drivers reading this watch allu speed especially through the villages i mena come on allu know the limit, innocent ppl shouldnt have to die like this
My heart goes out to both families may God strengthen them in this sad time of loss. Please Mahaut people need to also stop wearing number plates and allow vehicles to pass freely hope this will serve as a lesson to them. Also to the bikers be more careful on the road.
no one is to be blamed for the accident if it was the other way around and yonnel was the motorbike rider and leslie was the pedestrian wat would u say
Such a ridiculous statement ‘no one is to be blamed for the accident’. The blame is at one man’s doorstep—the driver. As a result of foolish and hardy riding Yonnel is gone and his family left to mourn and you are left to mourn yours. He was not standing in the road asking to be hit was he? All we are asking is slow down….slow down.
R I P my boi to the family accept my sympathy and take it easy young stunnerz hold strong
ppl death can come any where and any time please be carefull out there be alert dont take any thing for granted.Ask god for guidance every day cause we are just specks of dust on this earth. now another mother has lost her son a child has lost there father. I am so sorry and i will pray for the strength of the families affected. please ppl take care of your self and may god have mercy on all of us.
we must as a nation enforce helmet as part of the law. we need our young men
Alas that’s Wat u called reckless driving an endangering the lives of others ,rip yonnEl gone too soon
You people aint being fair, yes the biker must have been riding fast, IT’S A BIKE, IT’S MADE FOR SPEED, it’s a village he was going through, yes i understand he could have problem been more cautious, but at the same time what was the young man doing in the road to get hit my a bike, he was IN THE ROAD!
nope he was crossin de road fool
May /od continue to bless the families of those who have passed in this traggic accident. To the drivers plz take precausion when passing through mahaut it is a very cramped Comunity.RIP boys
When a bird is alive…it eats ants.
When the bird is dead…ants eat the bird!
Time and circumstances can change at any time…
Don’t devalue or hurt anyone in life.
You may be powerful today…but remember,
Time is more powerful than you!!
One tree makes a million match sticks…
But when the time comes…
Only one match stick is needed to burn a million trees.
So be good and do good.
Remember, when powerful, be merciful!
For that Power can be taken away
at a blink of an eye!
you are so so right ……

IT IS SO SAD….. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE DON’T TAKE THEIR TIME TO DRIVE IN DA. THERE ARE NO ROADS FOR FAST DRIVING. DRIVING IN DA IS LIKE DRIVING ON A BACK ROAD. ANYONE BALL, CHILD, MAN OR WOMAN CAN BE PASSING OR SHOW UP UNEXPECTEDELY. DRIVERS NEED TO BE MORE CAREFUL. I DO NOT LIVE IN DA BUT I HAVE WITNESSED THE DANGEROUS DRIVING WHEN I WAS THERE. PEOPLE BECAREFUL. HAVING SAID ALL THAT, THERE IS A TIME FOR EVERYTHING. A TIME TO BORN AND A TIME TO DIE. IT IS GOD’S TIME. IT IS NOT ABOUT LEAP YEAR OR IF THEY WERE HOME IT WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. MAY THEIR SOULS REST IN PEACE.
SO SAD GONE SO SOON. TWO YOUNG MEN LOSS THEIR LIVES BECAUSE OF SPEEDING. PLEASE BECAREFUL WHILE
DRIVING. STOP SPEEDING SAVE LIVES. RIP IN PEACE
GUYS. MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THEIR FAMILIES.
Sincere condolences to the families of the deceased young men. Leslie I admired your relationship with your son, it grieves me that you will no longer be there for him, RIP
boy, my boy die, just the other day I talk to the man before i leave the island and now man dead boy life is crazy.. And all those people with these stupid comments quit that. Speed kills but common sense saves lives.
please take notice!any one who is caught on the road without licence and insurance will be dealt with severely..vehicle will be siezed and invidual will pay the maximum penalty!!!!!!!! please be up to date or you will be sorry!!
is time they do something about that….
This is silly:
– Inland Revenue have all vehicle licences (Incl. motorbikes) on a computer data base.
– It is not possible to get a valid road licence without first producing insurance cover or pass a physical check.
– It should, therefore be easy enought to establish, who has and who has not paid.
The registration numbers (licence plates ) of vehicles that have not complied within a reasonable amount of time , should be confiscated or scrapped at the registered owners’ expense. (this would aslo take care of those conveyeances that are not roadworthy).
than is good officer, (if u are one, and for all our Police Officers out there. . .)What about ticketing for lack of helmet and speeding?
Its so sad omg R.I.P
My Deepest Condolences goes out to the family n friends of the deceased.. Fadda Leslie, Jah Knows, u gwan be missed ma boi.. Rest In Peace son, c u on the other side..
donald lol
R.I.P,Young Stunners my deepest sympathy goes out to you and the fam…domino nights won’t be the same i kno.stay strong
My heart goes out to both families, although I don’t know any of them. May their souls rest in peace
met you last year had a great time.dj you wont be forgotten.rip calibishie.
That’s tragic man. Anything can go wrong sometimes. Sometimes these things are just unavoidable.
But fellas be careful on them bikes.
Think about your life and the lives of others.
Ride safe fada.
R.I.P…………………….
HUH? I DON’T GET WHY PEOPLE BOTHER SAY REST IN PEACE…NOT LIKE OUR HUMAN SORROW CAN DETERMINE WHERE SOMEONE’S SOUL SPEND ETERNITY….YOU DIE WITHOUT CRY THEN HELL AND U DIE WITH CHRIST THEN HEAVEN…NO NEED TO SAY REST IN PEACE…THOSE WHO DIE IN CHRIST IS ALREADY IN PEACE…THOSE WHO DIE WITHOUT HIM HAVE NO PEACE…SAD BUT REALISTIC!!!
so ture, and we were give a choice. Thank you Lord so there for its only right to say there is peace when Christ is in us when He calls…
and when He calls it Will be in His timing that we Go
I feel the same to
If we all give Christ our life we’d take life more serious. All these tradegy would not occur. I sympathize with both families and hope that we are prepared wen our turn comes to die. Lt’s love and love more for lif is so shot and so precious.
Accidents are inevitable however, we should take steps to reduce them, Residential communities as Mahuat and Masacre should have maximum speed limits posted. There should be speed bumps to reduce speeding. There should be designated pick up and drop off locations for buses. Sad to see such young men with their lives ahead of them lost. Lets dedicate some of these changes in their honor.
so sorry to hear that my fren yonnel die r.i.p yonell u’ll never be forgotten
may their souls r.i.p
R.I.P Yonnel i knw we had our differences but my dawg.. u already knw….keep it real
Bike riders !! drive with midium speed and your helmits please.
So sorry to hear that two people had to die this way. This road is a death- trap, especially now that has been resurfaced. I always pass through there with great trepidation: vehicles parked on the main road blocking through traffic, buses stopping anywhere without warningin the middle of the road impeding the flow, pedestrians jumping into the road and crossing it without warning! Most buildings border with the edge of the road, not even leaving space for a pedestrian walkway. THAT ROAD SHOULD NOT RUN THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE VILLAGE!! I’m afraid we’ll see more victims.
Its something else to believe this happened. Because Two fridays ago I was driving through Mahaut and around the Area by Krams I saw with my eyes a cyclist hit a guy and send him on the other side of the road and he never stopped. I slowed down and just shook my head. The guy staid standing not sure if he ever felt anything the day after. Boy oh boy…. Sty strong family memebrs.
just saying nothing to do with the accident cause i was not there n also don’t know the details but as a word of caution some kind of mobilisation/education have to be done for mahaut people to stop thinking the road belongs to them only n not vehicles
The roads are smooth but remember they are very narrow so there is no place for speeding. My condolences go out to the grieving families.
my nigga R.I.P
Thats a fool trying to be cute. With this “N” word tells us some of us are still under bondage. Say what you want its your opinion I agree. But smart people and those who know their history do not use this “N” in their conversation. I am sorry let who the cap fit sound off. The little things friends lets keep it real and grow up if we want to be respected as human beings. No hard feelings just calling it as I see it.
I agree.. Bath Road / Boston house – cork st
Rip cousin Leslie…tears……omg. St.Thomas
so sad to all the family members of both parties accept our deepest sympathy
so sad accept our sympathy
It is obvious that there are some people who do not obey road regulations. He was fully aware of the road accidents in DA which resulted in loss of lives especially to motorcyclists. The problem is they think that it will never happen to them.
Even though it was early morning and there was very little or no traffic, this gave him no reason to speed and to injure a pedestrian which led to both their deaths.
Two more lives are taken away through an accident. They are constantly warned. What will it take to convince them that fast driving is dangerous and not driving on their side of the road? When will they learn a lesson of safe driving and that slow and steady wins the race?
Drivers, bicyclists and motorcyclists pay heed! Life is precious. While driving and riding do your utmost to preserve your life and that of others. Drive safely and obey the rules of the road no matter what time of day and night.
Sudden deaths of loved ones and in such a manner is not easy to bear. My heartfelt sympathy to their family members. May God give you the strength to bear their loss.
It is so sad that an innocent, young man’s life was shorten. With bad roads we Complain. Dominicans were better off with bads road. A family is left to grieve all because of someone’s else ignorance.
R.I.P
what is happening to sweet dominica?i am a driver too, and sometimes i speed as well, but when i remember that this piece of machinery was created by man, and that it can break down at any time, i slow down. however, no ones knows if they were driving quickly or if they were under the influence of alcohol or so. what we do know right now and it’s a fact, they are dead.may their souls rest in peace. i don’t know them but i am praying for the families because i don’t know how i would take this piece of bad news at 3 in the morning if it were my family. R.I.P boys. to the family, you needed them around you but God has a better plan for them.just rest in the arms of the Lord and you will be just fine!
I’m sorry to hear about these young guys losing their lives.Having lost a loved one to a motorcycle accident and being a rider myself I want to say to the riders be careful.I know y’all love the power and speed by my friends it just takes one moment,a second for something terrible to happen.We have a lot young riders out there some inexperience and some just riding bikes that are way too powerful.I mean a 1000 street motorcycle must be handled by a rider with years of experience and discipline.Some of these motorcycles are not the best type of motorcycle for our terrain and roads.I love the feel of the street bikes,they handle the best on the roads but are also the fastest hence the easiest to get into trouble on. I’m saying all this to let these young riders know to be smart,ride safe,wear a helmet and protective gear.Understand that stopping a motorcycle from 60mph takes about 120 feet of road and that’s just at 60mph,so again ride smart my riding friends.To the government I would say limit the age and experience of riders from street bikes about 600cc to 30years with at least 3 years experience with a clean record.We have to create a smarter,safer environment for our riders.I’m seriously thinking of setting up a motorcycle safety course along with motorcycle rider course for Dominica.These courses should be considered for motorcyclists at least in terms of licensing of more powerful motorcycles.I doesn’t have to be me to start it,I’m just saying it needs to be done.
Street Biker,I agree with you 100%The government should put limits on the riders of certain displacement power for street motorcycles. From 50cc to 600cc entry/intermediate level anything above 600cc u must have at least 3 years of riding experience with a clean record.Along with a helmet law that should at least help bring the fatality numbers down.Riders understand that these motorcycles are designed from a racing background and can literally be considered street or road converted race motorcycles.Do you really need to have a motorcycle that goes up too 170 mph in Dominica? Definitely not,but that doesn’t mean that u will ride it that fast.We shouldn’t be band from having them but it should be limited to experienced riders. It goes back to what u mentioned street biker,these larger displacement street bikes should be only allowed to experienced and disciple riders which generally are more mature riders 30 years old and above.It’s definitely something the authorities should be looking at.
I’m like 100% certain that he did not have sufficient insurance to cover the cost of his victim’s /the pedestrian funeral!
One way to get them off the streets with these zootee lamort is to have them them covered with at least $200,000 in compulsary insurance to cover harm and /or destruction to peolpe or property.
My deepest sympathy to both families I pray that you will find comfort in the hands of the great comforter which is Jesus no one can feel your pain like he dose just lean on him he will carry you through younelle was my son classmate and my son was tramatized by the news. :
RIP So very sorry to hear about this accident. I have total sympathy for the families and friends of the dead young men!
Motor bikes and Scooters are very dangerous!! Why do I keep seeing people riding motor bikes without wearing helmets or protection at all. They have pillions on their motor bikes and scooters, who wear no helmets. My friends son died the first time he accepted a ride on a motor bike because he did not wear a helmet??? How many of these motor bikers and scooter riders have passed their test and have paid their insurance. Whoever is importing these machines has to also be held responsible. Do not sell a motor bike or scooter without selling a helmet. It is very sad and I think there will be a great many more accidents of this kind. I witnessed an accident on the same day after it occurred in the morning just by Fond Cole but it has not been documented on DNO yet? These machines need to be treated properly they are dangerous if not handled properly.
boy young stonner go wii boy
R.I.P
Some of u all come there too comment…..some of you make no sense….Family and friends a Grieving….non of you all are God to judge and say who sacrifice and why?no one knows the day or time they are going……. so if your dont have any thing good too say…Please dont comment..shate man!!

PEOPLE PLEASE TAKE HEED TOO MANY DEATHS ACCIDENTS
MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILIES.
I was home for carnival 2012 and I got the impression that we are beginning to be afraid of these young undesirables. My wife was knocked down on Carnival Monday night by three young men on motorbikes just driving with a willful and wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property. It happened just after the New Bridge on the Potterville side and there were more than 50 people or so waiting for buses at that location. After helping up my wife, I was prevented by all three of them from photographing their bikes by pushing and shoving me. I was not successful and they eventually left. However, what was very sickening and disturbing is that not one person came to our assistance or even made a phone call to the police.
I was later told that no one came to my assistance because I was from the Diaspora.
I was carrying a camera around my neck…so, that probably explains it.
The famous poem on inactivity by the German people:
First they came for the communists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

What really needs to happen is for cyclist to wear a helmet. Make it a law. Just maybe one life could have been saved. My deepest sympathy to the victims family.

I just wish that you had the time to say at least God Forgive me for my sins RIP LUZZZZ
Your comment brought tears to my eye, so touching.
Truly tragic. As a Trauma surgeon I deal with these terrible accidents every day. I have tried many times to contact the health officials even DNO so that I can come down and teach Advance Trama Life Support and see how we can save the lives that can be saved. It seems some of these deaths can be prevented with a more developed Trauma system.
R.I.P LESLEY
younp p boi i doe even know what to say.
Mother Teresa said it this way, “Death is nothing else but going home to God, the bond of love will be unbroken for all eternity.” Yonnel you were a very cool student at the DGS (fifth form)… Gave no one any problems and always have that special smile… we knew all too well… Rest In Peace Yonnel… you have just been called to another world where angels reside!! you will be missed in my world… RIP YONNEL!!! Oh death!!!!
R.I.P Leslie.. i will always remember u.. i kno for sure ur family will never ever forget t

My grand mother told me if I cannot say something good about a person do not say anything at all,so with that in mind I will keep my comments to my self respecting the way things are on D.N.O these days I will refrain and stick to what will make it deserving to be posted. To all involve and their families My deepest condolences may the deceased R.I.P. And for the record that is not what I honestly wanted to say. Read thru the lines.
just because de road nice and smooth does not mean u have to speed
Omg Yonnel we just spoke a few days ago :-(
Remember when we spoke all in the summer.
We went through primary school together. I can not say R I P. My heart hurts
I really hope this is a dream…just can’t wake up yet…feeling lost….
Always on my mind. Love you ♥
SPEED BUMPS ARE NEEDED ALL OVER!!
Especially in peoples MINDS. Thats where the real speed bump should be. Driving safe is a frame of mind, not anything on the road. OUr drivers need to be educated on safe driving, and use care and precaution. I watch a bike speed on the side of a speed bump to avoid it eh. They doing that all the time by the bath estate bridge.
i am not against fast driving .. caust thats a mentality guys have.. i drive very fast.. through massacr and mahaut.. it’s just that, if u cant handle the faast driving , don’t do it.. fast driving is every guys fantasy..
drive slow or drive fast.. if ur time comes then it’s ur time.. none of us don’t know when’s out time.. though some accidents could be aavoided.. but sometimes death comes for us right at home.. rip youngster yonnell
That sound good at first but what about the careless decisions that causes one to die BEFORE the time that they were supposed to die. I agree that only the giver of life know when that time is but many time persons die below the 70 yrs allotment given by the designer of life and it is because of violating the HIS rules for life and living. For example: He states – Children obey your parents . . . that you may live long and good in the earth. – I wonder how many PREMATURE deaths could have been avoid directly or indirectly because of disobedience of parents or the rules of the creator and the consequence follow after (although some follow immediately). Some may think that this sounds out of place. but remember anything one make and design he is the authority on it, and the Creator and Designer of Life has so given His instruction to govern life for it to be meaningful and come to maturity. (Well,all this may not make sense to you if you are not one of those who believe that if you explode a car with a bomb it will make a helicopter for you. [for in essence that is what the “Bib Bang” of evolution believe] so if there is no creator of designer then there is no one with authority on life and everyone can do as they want and devalue their life and the life of others because “there is no one to answer to”) No one in this present state on earth is going to live forever but there is an appointed time for each of us to die. Many have died before that appointed time and most due to their own disobedience to the rules of engaging life. Worse yet many have died unprepared for the next stage of life after this life. Be ready by following the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (BIBLE) and you may not die before your time and certainly you will not die unprepared.
Moderator,
I did not see my first reply to this comment that was waiting for your approval. Is it was too real for you and the readers to read or was it just a glitch in the system?
I am interested in knowing, could you let me know pls. Thanks
I guess it was a glitch. I see it now. Thanks. No need to respond.
RIP Yonel.our condolences to the Pascal family & THE entire Mahaut community. one life means a lot to us.Comfort in the Lord to his mom,dad & sister & relatives. our neighbours in Chemin Coway be strong and We know you’ll support the family. our prayers with you. our sympathy to Leslie,s family.
my condolances to the family and friends of these people
r.i.p. my brother
Yonnel p*scal a.k.a young p will miss u with all my heart. PrayIng for u R.I.P.
You had to be driving extremely fast for you to Kill yourself instantly and still kill the person you struck after…
Are licence granted to owners/drivers of motorcycles? If not they should be and regular spot checks made by the Police. I do not know the background to this particular accident, but I have seen many near misses due to reckless driving by owners of motorcycles.
Helmets should also be mandatory.
Were they “near miss” or near hits
This is such sad news!Condolences to the families of the deceased.
RIP Cous Leslie so sad n heartbreaking news this morning,to Yonnell family n friends sorry for ur loss n my prayers r with u guys.leslie we love n miss u alright especially ur family from Calibishie
was not even close to yonnel aka young p.but he was such a nice boy so quite and humble.trust me u will be miss by many.rip young p.
i think crams must be feeling giulty because if he had close da wud not happen with this young man from mahaut( is time that mahaut young men and young women start sleeping in thier bed
You’re a real idiot. So if it was a shooting at a night club they should feel guilty too right? At least the people a krams creating jobs unlike some who run their mouths
oh my God have mercy on your country………please to many young lives a being lost where is our future in Dominica wen we losing all our youth…….
I am not supporting predestrian over motorist(nor vise versa), at times I am both (whilst not at the same time). I ‘ll say this, I live on the West Coast too and know that MAHAUT PEOPLE are noted for “not respecting moving traffic” a reputation they seem to carry around for generations now! On the other hand Leslie “LOZ” George’s reputation for driving or riding “at break neck speed” preceeds him! Whilst we are very saddened by the news alot of us who know Leslie personally WERE NOT SURPRISED as he has a nat for “risky behaviour whilst commanding a motor cycle or vehicle and ofcourse it was only a matter of time for something of that nature to happen to him especially in a community like Mahaut. My comments are not to be seen as “insensitive or meant to offend anybody” but alot of people are aware of the “FACTORS” involved and afraid to express their views. I am not looking for support, will just ask that we reflect on my comments that I have made and draw your own conclusions. The moral of the situation is this “ALL road users should exercise a high level of caution” since we are ALL at risk on the roads we travel daily. May the departed souls rest in peace and may the grieving families & friends experience God’s peace in the midst of this painfully difficult situation!!!
oh boy so sad eh
ppl can be so ignorant..allu forget his family does see those things and to see there own family dead on the ground like that..be considerate ppl R.I.P UNCLE
Where was the family when he needed an intervention in his reckless ways?
r.i.p my sound brother
Yonnel is my cousin. I can’t believe he died. Rip young stunna!
2012-leap year …….where not yet half way in the year as yet and see how many lives that’s been taken away
TO THE DRIVES AND RIDES IN DOMINICA PLEASE THE ROAD IS FOR THE USE OF ALL DOMINICANS PLEASE BE VERY CAREFULL WHEN YOU USE THE ROAD PLEASE BE VERY SAFE AND USE SAFTY GEARS AND LOOK OUT FOR PEDESTRIAN THANK YOU ALL HAVE ARE BLESS DAY LETS ALL DO IT SAFE
may his soul rest in peace ….
rip bless his soul
The truth is ‘leap year” has nothing to do with it, being wise has everything to do with it. We all must learn to exercise caution at all times and have regard for humanity.
Drivers whether its a densely populated area or not, you should refrain from speeding as no one is immune to accidents. One last thing, stay close to Father God.
With that said, I am sorry to hear about our two young men, don’t know them, but we are all one family. Father GOD, watch over their relatives.
Indeed a sad situation. But these fellas with bikes believe that their bikes have wings. Time and time again, we call on these guys to take it easy on the road, you should see what they do to drivers. They scare you, they rev up their bikes, then speed past you, almost into oncoming traffic. Nice guys but unwise choices on the roads. Just the other day while I was driving I saw one and it was only luck and chance while he did not get into an accident. Please drivers, I know you are excited about the new roads, but roads do not kill people, speed bumps or not. Drivers need to take caution, and think about the pedestrians and other drivers. SO if you know someone or related to someone with a bike, please ask them to take care on the road, don’t wait to say ‘Rest in Peace”.
:'(:'(:(R.I.P Yonnel.. A.K.A. Young P… Gone but not forgotten…Still can’t believe ur gone.. but I guess it was ur tym huh?.. Sigh!
Gunna miss yew :'( :'(
that bad
That is so sad that two other young people have lost their lifes. Others should learn from this that they should not ride so fast and that they should wear protective gears when they are riding
Dominicans seems to be more afraid of dogs than vehicles pedestrians just step in front of you and expect you to stop. Motorcyclist thinks it’s macho to ride without a helmet we only have one life to live please protect it
“The motorcyclist reportedly died on the spot while the pedestrian was rushed to hospital in critical condition. He later succumbed to his injuries.”
This is an excerpt from the DNO’s report so what all the comment???
My sincerest condolescences to the families of both Yonnel and Leslie. The Lord will never leave you nor forsake at this trajic. We share your grief at this moment.
i never really knew the deceased but this is really sad…that’s something else wi boi!my condolences goes out to the family ,may their soul rest in peace.
some ppl dont respect lent but when they dont thats what happens…………. my ppl its lent we are not suppose to party durin lent……. alot of tingds are goin to happen unless we dnt take it into consideration
YOU ARE AN IDIOT
your fool you that is the idiot, every time is a partyin this young man at that time of the morning should be in his bed
alas!!! no time for god!
Wow…….. nice comment officer
U makin sense if he wants to party he can party but is his responsibility to drive carefuly
ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT YOU ARE A HEARTLESS SOUL…. LENT OR NOT…THE YOUNG BOY LIFE WAS TAKEN. BE A LITTLE MORE HUMANE. JUST THINK OF IT WAS SOMEONE YOU LOVED.
HOPE YOU HAVE ALWAYS FOLLOWED GOD’S LAW… wicked soul.
So you’re saying that – everyone must respect Lent, even if they’re NOT Catholic? Did you inquire about the deseased religious affiliation before you passed judgement??
you party anytime lent or bent or rent
Us miltary. Please jus shut up really !!!!!
tht is true i will big u up on tht one hundred percent
u saw the people partying. where u there? if u where there, it is lent, u should not be out 3a.m. in the morning too. Some of all u too Godly in mouth and have no actions to show it.
So accidents don’t happen during other times of the year when it’s not lent?? Smh
but what kind of comment is that na, even though is lent and something happen u well gald it happen, i wonder if it was ur family memeber u would say is lent? come on man.
Some people don’t know when to keep their darn mouth shut when they don’t have anything positive to say in times like these
What is length?
Nowhere in the Bible, in God word he ever mention, or spoke of such a thing as Length!
That is another of the Roman Catholic religious doctrine, false teachings, which has noting to do with the word of God, so too is what they called the Rosary, if you can find the word rosary in the Bible, quote me a chapter, and verse where I can find it and read it, and will pay you whatever you want for pointing it out to me.
Jesus directed Christians to observe the Passover, he did not mention anything about length, Easter, Christmas, and all that nonsense!
Yours is nothing more than a superstition, people can party anytime they want.
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
Telemaque
Some of you have a problem. You do not know all what is contained in Holy Scripture. Some interpret it according to their mentality. You will not comprehend it because you may not have been a Catholic. If per chance you were, you do not know Holy Scriptures and are unable to interpret it.
There is the religious teaching of the Catholic Church. Lent is another religious teaching of the Church as approved by The Holy Spirit.
Many religions who consider themselves Christians observe it as well. Therefore, learn this and leave it alone. Lent is here to stay until the end of time. It is an observance, in memory of the passion, crucifixion and death of Our Lord Jesus Christ. I always inform people to pray to God for enlightenment and discernment that He may reveal the truth to you.
For your information, divorce is in the Holy Bible and many divorce. They do not observe what Our Lord Jesus Christ said that, “…Because of the hardness of their hearts Moses gave them a bill of divorce but it was not so – from the beginning.”
St. Paul also spoke about it if their husbands/wives are still alive they should not marry. Since you criticize and condemn the Catholic Church for its religious teachings pertaining to Our Lord Jesus Christ, condemn yourself due to your lifestyle and some others. God is taking note.
were they partying?
@ us military-> How did u come across your conclusion, sir?
Why are you using The US Military as your name?
Are you a wanna-be or some moron?
@us military
Why would so many people give you thumbs down? Are they not Christians? Probably non-practicing ones.
I do agree with you. You are correct and made good sense. I recall those days when there was no partying in Lent. This is the reason why there is Carnival two days before Lent. In any case, at 3 AM they should be at home sleeping.
When we do not obey God this is surely true what could happen and other incidents. In this era, few think of God and few worship Him. The price is to be paid for this. They are too busy doing their own thing. When problems befall them they say why me? Our Lord would say, “Why not you? What have you done not to deserve it?”
As one who resides in Toronto, I received an email notification from the Toronto Dominica Association that there was (incidentally – strange things happen) a Mahaut re-union/fund-raising in Toronto. This would have been a party/dance. In talking to someone about it I said we are in Lent and why are they having a reunion party in Lent? Are they not Catholics? In those days Mahaut people were practicing Catholics. I do know many of them from Mahaut. I further stated that I will not attend. One was a pedestrian. The toxicology tests will determine if they were under the influence of liquor or drugs.
Are you going to give me thumbs down as well for standing up for the truth?
At the same time I hope God had mercy on their souls.
what makes you so sure they were partying?
ki jabb lent… things tight… de man was a dj so de man com out an play to make money to feed his to children, dem priest paying ppl nah???…so wat ffff lent u talkin bout…. u is a tehbeh…go back on di gay ship ..
Your thinking is an EPIC DISASTER. I guess you would believe too that if someone dies while in church its because they were not dressed properly right?
you are a retarded.everyone don’t worship the same god…you fools are so closed minded.people like you make me ashamed to say I AM DOMINICA
Anonymous, what are you stating? There is only one God. If they do not worship the same God, woe to them and for all eternity. Who are the fools?
Common peeps, that did not deserve so many thumbs down
I meant, ‘Come on’
R.I.P LESLIE u”ll always be in our hearts 180soundz still lives
friends and fmly love u
Allu have to be kidding me YONNELL die?????? no boy not my yonnell!
i kno rite dat one take me hard wi
R I P my boy
Dear Hon.Blackmoore please put SPEED BUMPS in Mahaut!!!
Putting speed bumps everywhere isn’t he solution to bigger problems. They first need to educate people on being aware of the road first and drivers Abt driving properly
mahaut is a highway. not a village road
why dont they put no parking or stopping signs all through mahaut and massacre?
no way no speed bumps at all. dat will be retrogressive and retarded
And Massacre from the car wash to the cemetary. Thank you Mr. Parl Rep.
Really speed bumps in mahaut, it doesnt have enough traffic?
fairplay thank you
Jah!! No this leap year aint easi 2 many deaths around d corner…OMG cant believe it
people doing things in this country
so my god daughters father died last night thats tragic nollie my condolences to ur loss remember ill be there for u when u need me jayleen will always be looked after
DONT DRIVE FAST THATS ALL .
People shouldn’t drive to fast you can drive fast but not to fast.
People can drive fast you know but not to fast because driving to fast is what that causing more accidents.

HMMMMMMMMMMMM BOY THAT IS SOME TING ELSE PAPA MET
RIP to the lives that was lost..
;-(
how in the world you driving so fast through Mahaut, a village, so that you kill someone and yourself!!!!!
I hate how these motorcyclists move on our road. It is downright scary!
And news of this incident pisses me off!
Trust me, if we all RESPECT life,a lot of bad things would stop happening, motorists, there are places to speed/drive fast….villages aren’t the place to be speeding, pedestrians, be conscious on the roads,cross with a sense of urgency, u never kno who’s behind the wheel…this is realllll sad news,a young man jus finished skool, and a young father of two young children, i can only imagin the pain and heartache both families are goin through,R.I.P to the departed souls.
SOON AS A MOTORBIKE CRASH Y’ALL TALKING BOUT SPEEDING…..HE COULD’VE BEEN GOING AT THE SPEED LIMIT
We were the and know. He was goig about ten time the limit. Its ridiculous. That should have never happened. Bike was going so fast that it take a quarter mile to stop? What is that? Mahaut doesn’t have a motor bike nor a drag racing circuit. Two steps and you cross the road. Big night and party in the place, people all over. I’m so angry about this right now. That could have been anyone. Including myself.
He wasnt at the speed limit stop being ridiculous, he knew that it was a village he was passing through and he knew that there was an activity at Krams.

Do u kno the speed limit for Mahaut or any village in Dominica? and infact, if u was traveling at tht speed limit would lives have been lost and a bike be soo extensively damaged.I boubt it…..and by the way tht statement was directed to ALL Motorists.
@SINISTER MINISTER….did you read the article before you comment? you just made yourself look stupid when you don’t then comment..direct quote from the article, “According to the police, the accident occurred when a speeding motorcycle collided with a pedestrian.”
READ FIRST!
“According to the police, the accident occurred when a speeding motorcycle collided with a pedestrian.”
T
“According to the police, the accident occurred when a speeding motorcycle collided with a pedestrian.”
TAKE TIME TO READ BOO-BOO
Yes, he could have been. Only thing is he wasn’t. So sad to see two young lives lost, whatever the circumstances.
o plz everybody that no mr no he does drive fast so dont be so biased and act like he was not speeding
Going at the speed limit!!!!!!!! He jammed Yonnel by Krams and the bike ended up after the Lab!!! The bodies were in between< so do the maths!!!!
dont act so biased everyone know mr does speed
What is the speed limit tho? Ask any young driver & they cant say for sure. It’s so true that these kids are Crazy on the street.
IF HE WAS GOING AT SPEED LIMIT HE WOULD BE ALIVE.. THOSE GUYS JUST DON’T RESPECT THE ROADS THATS IT. BUSY GOING WHERE TO LYNHURST? YOU CANT BE LATE TWICE PPL TAKE IT EASY ON THE ROADS AND RESPECT THE SPPED LIMITS GOING THROUGH VILLAGES.. 20 M.P.H
yes at 10 miles per hour
If you are familiar with the details of the accident and the location of the bodiesfound the firat thing that would come to even the uneducated mister….THE MOTORIST WAS SPEEDING! POINT BLANK! Slow down! It ain’t rocket science.
@ Sinister Minister..Fool have you ever seen a motorbike pass you at 30mph in Dominica????
Ii sound like you ridding bike yourself, you guys ridding faster when you among pedestrians just to show off…
What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. RIP….Leslie and Yonnel…
R.I.P Leslie… you will surely be missed by many… so sad u had to go so soon ur son and daughter are surely gonna miss you and so will I.
I NEVER thought Wednesday would be the last day that i would see u, thanks for a good laugh that will be my everlasting memory of you i can see u smiling now. Sorry u never get that call from me u said u would not have gotten it and you didnt but that was only because i didnt get the appt yet
.
I can feel what your daughter’s mother is going through now just be strong hun.. Leslie is now looking over you all.
if it was not his daughter’s mother he had on the bike with him, i dont think she will be grieving na. lolol
God watch over us! May their souls rest in peace. may the family find comfort in the Lord in this time of Grief. We dont know neither the day or the hours. REPENT AND BELIEVE IN THE GOOD NEWS OF THE LORD.
r.i.p leslie (180 songz)
R.I.P leslie… hope u r right with God.. and he called u home…
Gotie, you’re right – hope he was right with God because then he’ll be resurrected in God’s news world.
But God did not ‘call him home’. His home was here on earth, taking care of the responsibilities God gave him, namely, his two children and wife (if married). Why would a loving God call him away from caring for his family, leaving them to grieve and perhaps struggle financially etc?
‘God is love’ – 1John 4:8. Leslie can be reunited with his family in the future paradise on earth. Meantime, my sympathy to them and the family of the other victim.
R.I.P yonnel Pascal….. known u my entire life…from Massacre primary school…To Dominica grammar school…..trust me getting up this morning and hearing this news was a shock too me….we never no when we will be gone….

@ SINISTER MINISTER
Critic,
it is DNO’s prerogative to do so or not. Did you consider that probably pictures were not yet provided to DNO?

Oh boy more sad news…. My condolence to family of those deceased..
Beautiful roads, deadly accidents, i wont be surprised alcohol had a part to play in that. Laws should be imposed for drinking and driving. For the family i feel your grief….
Don’t make assupmtions about Alcohol….. Did you do an autospy?
Best you had just say RIP and leave it at that!
9O percent of people out on the streets at three in the morning up to nothing good, the rest of 10 percent working ok ok ok ok this is the point !!!!!
simple respect the roads.
omg people remember it’s a leap year and Satan looking for souls to devour…rest in peace and to the family may you find peace and comfort in god.
While one that agree that there is a physical and a spiritual world, people must stop believing nonsense that have simply been passed down generations with no logical or rational explanation. How can one simply believe that because it is a leap year bad things will happen? Smh
my thoughts exactly
@ straightforward
This is an old adage believed by millions of people around the world which may very well be true but we must not be paranoid about it. Strange things could happen to us when we least expect it. A lot of things happen which may or may not be attributed to it.
I do not give Leap Year a thought except when I hear and read about it. We should just live our lives hoping for the best, trusting in the Lord and asking Him for assistance and protection, knowing that He holds the key and is in control. Some do not give this a thought.
Youth Rally in Mahaut = Sacrifice of 2 young souls!
Satan must be moving through you for you to say something like that.
Blaming it on Satan is a good way for us to ignore what we can do to prevent accidents. Oh, it doesn’t matter how fast I drive, or whether I drink and drive, or whether I wear a helmet on my bike. Accidents may still happen regardless, and I can’t say who was at fault here if anyone, but Satan nonsense is not at all helpful. Leap year is just a thing we do with the calendar because the length of a calendar year is not exactly the same as a full orbit of the earth around the sun. The leap year adds a day every four years to adjust for that. If you are commenting on here, you obviously have internet access and could learn about these things by searching online. Don’t stay in your ignorance; put out some effort to learn.
@ DA
Yes especially when the death is sudden. Did they have time to even ask God forgiveness for their sins?
Next week is Holy Week and Satan will be more rampant when more people give God His dues on Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter. The Churches are filled with people. I have to go early so that I will get a seat.
Recognizing that Our Lord Jesus Christ died for us, there is nothing that makes Satan angrier and to know what he lost forever due to pride, disobedience and rebelliousness and will never regain it. He knows that we who are alive still have that opportunity to obtain eternal salvation. This is why he goes about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. We are told to reject him. It may be hard to do but it is worth a try until we die. Consider this also during Holy Week leading up to Our Lord’s Resurrection.
Have a blessed week and a joyful Easter. God bless!
Is there a 3am Saturday evening?
What’s the point of your question? Are you referring to the earlier statement ‘early morning traffic accident on Saturday’ and the closing statement ‘3am Saturday’? You need to be more specific or people will interpret it to mean what they want. The purpose of the article is not about the language used. Focus on the purpose. In case you are referring to the earlier and closing statements, This is what you call restatement in English Language. It is not an additional statement. It’s called repetition for emphasis. Learn about the English Language before commenting and trying to make people look or feel bad.
It’s also called ‘main point made to stand out’.
The person’s point is they may have seen the error before you read the news and before DNO CORRECTED it.
We underestimate people who read the news. Are you trying to tell me that all of us DROPPED OUT at Grade 4?
COMMONSENSE!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH POSITIVE FOR POINTING THAT OUT TO THE FOOL
positive stop being negative
What kind of comment that?? workout this maths equation: ‘idi’ plus ‘ot’ equals _____
I’m not sure this would be considered a “maths” equation..
Whether the error was there before correction or not, it is insignificant and it does not or did not detract from the message the article intended to convey. Let’s try to focus and stick to the issues at hand.
trust me R.I.P Yonnell…boy we go school together we bro…….trust me…..
That’s some disturbing news so early in the morning… Both Pedestrians and Motorist need to exercise vigilance with when using the roads especially now with the improvement of the roads.
As a motorist like all at times I push it a bit but it is always something to bear in mind that their can be an unexpected obstruction in the road at any time. Something simple as truck drivers overloading their trucks and having them uncovered causing chippings to fall on the road can be devastating.
I am concerned though with the manner that so many pedestrians are absolutely complacent and often times careless when crossing or walking along side the roads. It’s like they have no bother in the world while putting their lives at risk. It’s like the only person responsible for their life is the motorist. It’s the responsibility of all road users to safe guard their life. Beware of sitting on steps by the roadside (like in Massacre) or the guard railings like I have noticed some people doing even in areas least expected.
My comments does not specifically relate to this incident however was just a reminder that we all need to be more aware when using the roads and in guarding ourselves in general.
Deepest condolences extended to everyone affected by this tragic incident… As a fellow brother man… I feel the sadness too.
The pedestrian always has the right of way. Motor cyclists and drivers of vehicles need to be mindful of that at all times.
You are soooo wrong. And that is why things like that happen. Because of our ignorance.
yes but tht dont mean they have to take their precious time to cross roads, tht dont mean they have to take the road as their play ground, cuz in d end,u get struck by a vehicle and ur life is forever changed,or worst TAKEN!
My two cents ….its seems u are jus a pedestrian and nt a driver….a vehicle is a mechanically machine created by man which can malfunction at anytime….jus as we human minds can go astray….we both hv to used our discretion….my condolences two both families…..
I would have to respectfully disagree with you on pedestrians always having the right of way… If that was the case there would not be pedestrian’s crossing or stop and walk signs (Not Specifically in Dominica). Right of way means nothing when you are dead or cripled, the point is that we guard our lives and try our very best to exersise saftey on the roads.
My heart is more so saddened now knowing the people involved…
YOU ARE REALLY AN IDIOT…..THE ROAD IS FOR VEHICLES….PEDESTRIANS HAVE TO RESPECT THE ROAD N BE CAREFUL WHEN CROSSING….WE ALL KNOW DOMINICANS LACK RESPECT FOR THE ROADS, ESPECIALLY IN AREAS LIKE MAHAUT
My grandmother always said “there are plenty of people in the graveyard who had the right of way.” Everyone needs to be careful instead of thinking it’s up to the other guy to look out for them.
Use your senses fool. what if the brakes give way, how can the pedestrian have the right of way when an uncontrolled vehicle gives way and plow into that person?
there should be some kind of communication between driver and pedestrian when crossing. u don’t just cross like a sheep.
so what you saying is that u have a right to walk in the street because u think u have the right of way and take the piss, well u do just that and we will be happy to have a happy hour for you at your funeral, because if u are stupid enough to think that u as a pedestrian have the right of way, very soon we will be having a funeral for you MY TWO CENTS , it is your responsibility to take care of all the activities happening around even if u think u have the right of way. FOOL
We should all understand that we should give the driver eye contact. i am not a driver but when i am on a vehichle and see people cross like fowls i sometimes wonder if they have a brain.
thats not true. so if the vehicle 1 ft away n u cross n get hit, is the driver fault. stupes… brakes doesnt stop it as u press it!!!
we drivers need to remember that night we cannot see way ahead of us. when we do see whats ahead it is always to late
SO THE PEDESTRIAN DOESN’T HAVE TO BE VIGILANT AT ALL? IS ALWAYS THE BIKEMAN THAT WRONG?
you’re such an idiot! two persons lost their lives and u all arguing like fools, close minded people
OMG, that is so sad. May their souls RIP
May their soul rest in peace !! And to the families my condolences…
R.I.P. Yonnel and Leslie…i’ll miss them both
My deepest condolences to both victims family. Just want to advice all bikers to limit their speed and wear their helmet at all times. To pedestrians, look before you cross and cross fast because u never know the state of mind of the driver. Some of us think we’re on the cat walk at times or the driver must stop, life is precious take heed, stay alive. I pray that there will be no more road fatality in sweat D/A amen.
well most of dem think is the motorbikes dat will go hospital not the riders
Mahaut have road to speed on, some of us dominican dont value life at all.
YOU SAW HIM SPEEDING?
Whishes that the administrators would get correct info before posting. The biker died on the spot lionel died at the hospital!
Hey foo, all you have to do is correct DNO!!! No need to critize. Thanks to DNO!!! I live overseas and remember there was a time we knew nothing that was going on in D/A… Now.. sometimes i get the news from DNO before some of my peeps who lives in DA.. Thanks to DNO and dont mind the critics!!!
Any way RIP youte man!!!
I support you fully. Even the great, big, perfect America gets the nesw wrong at times too! Give DNO a break!
@ elorna
“Wished”
What difference does it make? They died.
Does not give a rats about your replies or people disliking my comment. Who gives a feck anyways. DNO made a mistake and I corrected them . But instead of acting like professionals they tried to put me on blast. When you get to CNN Or BBC standards then I will feel offended but till then stay ScHEMING
The only thing you need to be offended at is your spelling and grammar. Smh. Quick to correct but not very bright!
I was using my phone before.
Lets get something straight this is not an English exam,neither I’m I getting paid to write ish on DNO! I will talk slang and broken English when and how I want.I was not correcting DNO on any grammatical errors,they got the story completely wrong….. know you damn facts before you come on 3 days late and comment!
please note that I don’t owe you or these admins anything so you and that Donkey you rode in on can Feck off.

WHY TELL US YOU HAVE PICTURES IF YOU WILL NOT POST THEM, KNOWING WE LOVE OUR PICS NO MATTER HOW GRAPHIC?
you must be an animal! Why would you want to see such traggic pictures. They have families to. If it were you would you want your pictures on the internet?Scum! !
THINKING OF IT I’M SORRY, I HUMBLY APOLOGISE. NAME CALLING ISNT CALLED FOR
@ and what
Why are you calling the person animal and scum? You are responding to the comments of a human being as yourself. Would you like to be called likewise? Treat others as you expect them to treat you. Be respectful.
Other than maybe showing us what the road looked like where the accident happened (was it at a curve, etc.) I don’t see how pictures of this accident would help us understand better. Though maybe if more people would see the brains on the pavement they’d be more careful, but that would be traumatic for the people who actually knew and loved the accident victIms.
OMG! RIP Leslie and Yonnel God is in control, condolenses to the families……..smh
R.I.P leslie u well be surely miss
that’s news DNO, post those pics. Put a prio warning so people will not whatch if they don’t want to but there are people who may want to watch

Oh no
pictures are pitures,what is grafic about them if some one wants to see them then they can look.

Bull why post picture of your loves ones in this way. Get a life you . What if it was you or a family member?? Would you like to see them in this state, people think before you post those ignorant and senseless comments. My heart goes out to both Families may they find comfort in this times, RIP guys!!!
oh Lord, bless our nation
