    Something needs to be done about road safety. Reckless driving – whichever way you look at it. Driving too fast as usual. I hope everyone recovers, and in future tell drivers to slow down.

      You need to open your eyes as an observer. Granted, the driver may have been driving too fast. Did you read the article that the bus driver was trying to avoid a pedestrian? Some pedestrians also like walking on the road rather than on the side of the road.

        thx justice but there was no fast driving

        The driver should be charged with reckless driving, as clearly stated in the article he was transporting someone to the hospital. Thats motivce to speed and as stated in a comment the roads are narrow and pedestrians have very little to no room to walk freely so there fore they may step into the street to walk freely especially after sundown. The onus is on the drivers to also look for such pedestians and nt make silly comments when an accidnet like this occurs. plase comment on facts and not opinions. Thank you

    when you all see people chapping man with cutlass do not bring them hospital, you all do not have ambulance. if they were good citizens they would not be fighting with cutlass. close your eyes and let death pass.

      Dodger, you are dodging the real truth of this century and today. You are one chauvinistic person. Where women are concerned you have not yet changed with the times. They can do as good a job or even better than men and more patient and respectful.

      Keith, my advice to you is to study hard in school and graduate so that you could get a good job and re-locate elsewhere in Dominica, if you continue living there.
      Children need a safe and comfortable place to live. They should not have such an anxiety; are too young for that and to have such an experience.
      Children should be happy ones as they attend school. This is their time from cares and fears of the world. Sadly, in this era it is not so for some. Know that you are not alone.
      Some children of other countries experience the identical problem, if not worse.
      I wish you well in your studies and otherwise. God bless you! May He be with you and guide you and protect you.
      Know that Jesus loves the little children of the world. You are still little in his sight. :) You know that he was once a baby Jesus and a teenager. His heart goes out to all of you children.

        i like your effort but is there anywhere in dominica that dont have drugs, fighting, killing, foul language ect ? just because yampice is a poor community dont make it worst than anywhere else

    • fire
      February 25, 2013

      i think that you are scared of yourself and not of the place. pple like you need to stop trying to bring down the community and do your share to enhance it first.

      Sadly, this happens occasionally. I wish the driver well including the others who are injured.
      There are times that an ambulance transporting a patient to the hospital or traveling for an emergency gets into an accident; not in DA. They have to drive quickly with the siren on and trying to avoid vehicles which are supposed to stop when they hear the siren. Yet some of them do not, as always, trying to rush through traffic and block the path of the ambulance.
