Car crashes on flooded road

This vehicle went out of control and flipped over on its side

An indirect non-fatal casualty of Tropical Storm Isaac? I guess one could say that as the motor vehicle in this picture went out of control on a road which was flooded by the heavy rain which followed the storm.

The accident occurred on a section of the Hillsborough road south of the Layou River bridge on Friday September 14, the day after Isaac’s passing.

There were no reports of injury.

    DNO…Coming to think of it, I think this was the perfect opportunity to show the face of this idiot who failed to understand one needs to drive more slowly on wet (or flooded) roads.

    If there is a psychologist reading this, can you explain why our people are almost never in a hurry until they get behind the wheel of a vehicle in a country that is 29 miles x 18 miles?

      Haste makes waste and hurry dog eats raw corn. Now it will cost more time and expenses to fix the vehicle. Rush it and crash it, then pay a lot of money to fix it. Very smart driver.

    “— casualty of Tropical Storm Isaac. —” or casualty of a driver that failed to drive according to the existing road conditions? Despite the wet road conditions, there were some drivers who were driving at a high rate speed and following too closely!
