    I the original KID ON THE BLOCK would like to abstain from some of the previous comments made by someone using my username to make negative comments that don’t reflect my opinion. This person is a BLUE BELLY PARASITE. Your negative comments about the Government and Skerrit is not my style.

    Check the driver for drink and/or drugs. With the relaxed attitude to cannabis use, accidents like this are bound to happen.

    which way is DA going upside down sideways or what. Pilots learn to fly planes inverted in case of accident. More those in the airforce. We have a piolt who failed this flight test x14 ,2004-present and is still allowed to fly air Dominica.
    There are airports in the world that if a pilot has not flown there in a month is not allowed to. But we are allowing a pilot x14 failed landing to continue flying.

    I’m so so sorry that this happened. It’s sad that this happened to innocent people. In this time of sacrifices one must be very careful when navigating the roads as skeritt has put our country up for sale to the devil.
    This evil regime has brought dark days to our country whether it be through harsh hurricanes, floods, sickness, or accidents. Skeritt and his red angels really need to go. His demonic alter ego needs to go too. His demonic advisors and passport negotiators need to go along with his handsome face and devilish smile. That evil crawling serpent just need to go so that God can flow.

      Really you with those dumb comments??? You the other KID ON THE BLOCK need to unblock your mind and speak something sensible for once. Did you hear of the Volcano eruption in Guatemala that took some lives??? Did u hear of the accident in the Bahamas when a young man got of his vehicle and did not place in park and the vehicle mowed thru a crowd of persons in a parade … about 4 persons died and over 20 injured? Have you been hearing about the First Storm Alberto that have claimed some lives as well? Have you heard about the Volcano in Hawaii?

      I guess it must be the man whom you claimed above in your comment that is causing all of this disasters or all that goes wrong? Emancipate yourself from mental slavery for it is only you who can be willing to free yourself from this mental slavery of hatred, gossip, lies, and all the negatives blowing and blocking your mind. Peace the other KID ON THE BLOCK.

    Let’s all hope that there will be no loss of life and all the injured persons will make a full recovery. Want to appeal to all motorists to drive with care and caution for the life you save may be your very own.

    I don’t know the circumstances surrounding this accident, but I believe it’s time for the authorities to a drug and alcohol testing, to ensure that drivers, especially bus drivers are not under the influence of drugs or alcohol when transporting people. Like I said I don’t know what happened to this driver neither am I suggesting that he was under any influence but as a road user myself, I find too many times our drivers are behind the wheels drunk or charged, knowing they will not be stopped by police . I believe it’s time that the government goes to parliament to implement laws geared on saving lives instead of all the foolishness Skerrit using the parliament to do especially when it’s to benefit for him. Equipt the police so they could perform their duties so lives could be protected, especially when healthcare is so damn bad.

      The DPF has no time for things like that. They need to protect Skerrit and his cabal.

    It’s not a passenger bus, as you can see its a Suzuki APV van owned by a Auto Trade. All occupants were taken to the St. Joseph health center and subsequently transfered to the PMH.

      I mean seriously DNO. You are posting the pics of this bus and reporting it to be a passenger bus. I mean even if that was the information received, but one look at the pictures should have determined that it was not a passenger bus.
