The photo below depicts the scene of an accident which occurred on Saturday between the village of Coulibistrie and the area called Gel Leon.
While the damage to two vehicles involved in accident appears to be substantial, unofficial reports reaching DNO indicate that there were only minor injuries.
While visiting Dominica recently and taking public transportation, I noticed many senseless and reckless drivers operating vehicles with no regards for their own lives; let alone the lives of others. I boarded a bus to Roseau and had to get off 8 miles before my destination; for fear that the driver may not make it into town. Never a surprise whenever I read or hear of these accidents in Dominica.
I really think people should get the facts of an accident before posting such nonsensical comments did it ever occur to you all that is not accident is a result of speeding, drugs or alcohol. that we have a serious issue with trucks carrying sands and stones uncovered and its falling in the road, this is a main accident cause. we need a hotline to call so they can send out street sweeps to clean up the road.
This area has a quary, so why not add police patrol during the hours of operation when trucks are carrying their load and enforce the laws already on the books. Seems pretty simple to me.
I suspect long time is a “Jumbie” that causing so many accidents. Those drivers need to go Grandbay or Castel Bruce to see what is really going on.
Actually the truck drivers who overload and do not cover their vehicles when carrying sand and stones are the ones to blame for that accident. No one else. Those loose chippings round the corner is what caused that guy to drift to the opposite side of the road and collide with the oncoming vehicle. This could all be avoided if we would only think of what could happen to others because of our carelessness.
Dominica has no standards. And if we do, they are never upheld.
Dominica divers need to get additional reminders of road ethic.
Those who do not hear ,feel .
If you do not respect your vehicle , you do not respect the road , you do not respect the traffic laws , AT ALL TIMES ,then you will at sometime come unstuck .
Only Sad when innocent individuals are involved .
I’m guessing the FIRE Department never made it
I think is careless and reckless driving that’s causing all these accident. Drivers take your time on the on too much of speeding will cost your life and others.
Sometimes them drivers that act like they do not know where they are going or not seeing the road are the cause. .
I just can’t understand this accident because it seems as though both vehicles were heading the same direction. I can see what looks like a landslide of bolders in front of the vehicles and I wonder if they were trying to avoid it. But thanks God no one got seriously hurt.
Just another “Normal Day” in coulibistrie
Somebody want on their side.
Go on boys drink your RUM smoke marijuana sniff your cokecane or injected feel good and drive kill yourselfs, easy comes easy goes.
Today i agree with you. LOL craziness.
No problem when they kill themselves. The sad thing is when they go and kill innocent people.
you sound like a complete fool. not half or 3/4 but a whole complete fool. accidents happen, especially on sub par roads.
you are insinuating that the drivers were intoxicated? seems you were with both of them or at least one of them before they got into the vehicle.
That is just crazy on wide open road what is happening to our drivers
How can this b IN PICTURES and there’s only 1 pic??♂️??♂️
