Accident on Cochrane road

Driver says vehicle hit a stone

A motor vehicle accident occurred on the Cochrane road sometime after 9:00 this morning.

A source told DNO that the driver reported that he was travelling towards Cochrane when the vehicle he was driving hit a stone on the side of the road. As a result, the left front tire of his vehicle was cut.

This apparently caused the vehicle to go out of control and flip over in the road.

No serious injury has been reported.

    This is a typical example of how unsafe our roads are! some “people” like to respond with their nonsense about take your time and drive rhetoric. But too many times we know of stories where people have need taking their time, driving carefully and being courteous on the road and then BAM! you are in an accident at no fault of your. WE NEED SAFER ROADS!!!!< not just for motorists but also for pedestrians! look they build a new road in the gardens, not one piece of side walk for pedestrians after making the width of the road narrower. Dominicans will say oh well why you cannot walk on the grass, but you will tell a woman in heels to walk on wet grass in the rain, especially if she is with her children. NO! this is unacceptable the state of our roads. Time to block all road and demand better. We cannot continue to put our lives at risk on a daily basis like this. Resilience my foot. !

    I find that strange that there was an accident there cause this part of the road s suppose to be closed. There is a major road poject taking place there . It was announced on the radio. Some of you drivers are too troublesome. Use the Antrim Road. Smh

      Padna, your comment has no weight. People use this road daily. It is blocked at time, and when there is work going on there are signs. what does your point have to do with this accident especially if no work is being done in that immediate area.?

    I really hope this time around this lazy,useless Parl Rep is voted out by a large margin.In 2014 he made it with the help of overseas vote,but he scraped through only by the skin of his teeth.This time he should be skinned like a roasted cat.These guys have failed Dominica.They are hindrances to progress of this poor and indigent country.

    I blame Colin. All he does is sit down and eat tax payers money, while residents of Cochrane suffer on these poorly designed roads. Welcome to the next level. Drive by shootings in broad day light, bodies floating at sea and vehicular accidents all day and everyday. Labor is working hard to kill Dominicans, one by one.

        typical response from an ignorant person. Everytime someone comments with criticism, these people act like if you not showing them in their face what you are doing then you should be quiet. Is like you supposed to just stay mute when you know better and would like to have better. Are we supposed to fix the road ourselves? and if we cant we should just shut up and take what we get? you seem like the fool who has drank the cool-aid.

      Anthony P.Ismael – are you the new Francisco??? blamer, hater, not a constructive criticizer; You can say something better and give alternative recommendations. ALAS poor petit!

        I don’t think that he is new; the two of them have been walking side by side for a long, long time now. The name is just slightly changed.

        You should read what this Francisco person is saying on another forum, things that DNO will not print on their comment board–thanks to God. Those kinds of people are out of this World, you see!
