A teenager has died following an road accident near Salisbury on Tuesday morning.
He has been identified as 18-year-old Shane Victor.
Police PRO, Inspector John Carbon, said the accident involved Nissan pick-up registration number PJ877 which was travelling north and dump truck registration number AA052 was travelling south when the two vehicles collided.
Victor, who was sitting in the open back of the pick-up truck, was thrown of the vehicle upon impact onto a wall on the western side of the road.
He sustained multiple injuries and was subsequently transported to the Princess Margaret Hospital Accident and Emergency Department where he was pronounced dead.
A coroner’s inquest will be convened to be followed by a post mortem examination.
Investigations are continuing, Inspector Carbon said.
RIP my brother you will be truly be missed, stay strong my sister.
dominicans wear seat belts!!!sooo sad to hear!!!
How could you possibly wear seat belts sitting at the back of a pick up?….. Stupit!
This is so sad, may his soul rest in peace, and his family comforted in their time of grief.
dominicans drivers please slow down ans exercise more caution on our roads. i am not implying that in this particular case that there was speed,hoever the passenger buses that d this route most of the go too fast, but again the passengers allow it.
The authorities who have mentioned about an Action Plan, this is another matter and a good example to consider that passengers/workers should not be driving at the back of an open van/bus. Make it the Law that all drivers and passengers should “buckle up”; wear a seat belt. We do know that it is for their safety.
how are the drivers. I have yet to find out if anyone else got hurt.
rip
Look people stop all these negative vibes there is always a cause for death lets just pray and live it up to the father my condolences goes to the family of this young man. May he rest in peace
wait unit ur turn come
we criticize alot of the time but what we have to realize is that we dont practice road safety. i have a truck and a pick up i give people ride in the back but i simply make them sit flat.
can’t you people think before you make comments? This is an accident, both parties involve are in pain, whether physical or emotional. we are all human and likely to end up in such situations. Imagine you being that Truck Driver. Imagine you being the injured or dead one in the accident. Both families suffer. Stop, think or shut up…
A Police Officer doing what he was trained to do is even a problem? You people need a cure.
RIP young man. May heaven’s Angels escort you to Paradise. To the families, be comforted and find strength in God.
To the Driver & Family, Be strong and let The Lord be your guide… Ignore the negatives. God is the judge and he knows the truth.
Well said. Great to see that wisdom and consideration still exist. I feel likewise. Well said.
I mean anybody who knows the area would kno that there is a loong hill u gotta climb, now seriously, how fast can these BIG trucks climb these Hills….??….I doubt tht they speed up tht hill..in tht case I wouldnt jump to the conclusion that the truck was fast or speeding jus after climbin tht hill… my sympathy goes out to the family of the young man who lost his life.
You see what happens when we take the attitude “it’s just an accident”? If people know they will pay a stiff price for their negligence, they will tend to be more careful.
How many times have you seen drivers, even bus drivers drive like they are on a racetrack? They put people’s lives at risk knowing full well if an “accident” happens they will walk scott free. If a few of them were to be made to spend a good 15 years in prison for negligent homicide, they would take a bit more care. All these “accidents” can be avoided because they are caused by human error.
all u people are so not Godly. all u can think of is payback. people die every day. ask yourself this. In life we want and have to have a reason as to why someone died. If we didn’t have a reason we will still try to find one and see that someone pays. humans, want someone to spend 15 years for an accident. does anyone know how the driver feel? My brother was stabbed so many times. Did anyone seek justice then. that wasn’t an accident. Just plain evil.
Why is it necessary to report the registration numbers of the vehicles in the article. What purpose does that serve? Rest in Peace and prayers to the family.
Poor child. The adult world of Dominica continues to fail the youth. fail fail fail! He should never have been allowed to ride in the back in the first place. My uncle never allowed me to ride in the back of his pick-up no matter how I beg. He would always say its too dangerous. Also I think I remember him saying something about against the law and insurance.
So sad.
@anonymous While we know that riding at the back is dangerous, please note that 18 years is not a child’s age but an adult. So which adult caused the failure?
What did he grow up seeing? His whole life which is about the same time period when Dominica lost its way, all he has seen is wrong. How is he to know better?
Every single institution police force, courts, schools, government, church has been corrupted. All this boy knew is wrong.
“The adult world of Dominica continues to fail the youth” Are you kidding me? Are you serious? this young man put his faith in the hands of a driver by riding on the back of an open pickup and you blaming the entire adult population of Dominica? woaw…..It is obviously easier to blame someone for other people mistakes instead of accepting the inevitable. STOP DRIVING RECKLES!!!!!!!
R.I.P to the cousin whom i did not know I had.
Life is weird – heard of the accident, said a word of prayer for the victim..only to find out later he’s my second cousin.
sorry to. he’s my third. the village is so sad. just prayin for his mother and the rest of us.
he was always smiling good fela
i did not know he was my cousin
stop about de officer,who killed this boy thats importan,and how did his truck loose control,wat are they doing about this,is the oyjus goona die like dt 4 no reason,wit da driver getting away,so dat givs truck drivers,more leway to kill,because dey hav a bigger truck,to do wat dey want it de road,hmm,sorry de dis family lost,god be with them
The driver of the truck is a singer from CHOEB, which is why they did not state that in the article, but im sure if it was someone else, they would have stated it. Just like how they posted pics of the guy that crashed on the bike in Mahout, why didnt they post a pic of the truck? why didnt they say who the truck driver was? because that driver is recieving an award for some music thing? nonsense…
If it was you who cause the accident would u want your name all over. What is a picture of the truck going to solve. Let authorities handle the problem. only god knows.
Thank God an Officer was on the scene right away so that there would have been some order. Dominica drivers at ruthless. They have no regards for pedestrians, visitors or other vehicles on the road. Something needs to be done. As it is the roads are already dangerous. Where could they possibly be going that requires such a rush. You live in the islands man, take it easy. A life lost due to carelessness cannot be repaid. Dominicans just need to calm down and just be ire!
i dont know this young man at all but something about his pic tells me that he was a hard working young individual. RIP boy. Dear Lord we deliver ths young man soul shane Victor into your hands Lord almighty healer give his parents and his family the strength to go through it, death isn’t easy dear Lord may you take his soul to your kingdom.In Jesus name I pray. Amen! This could never be easy.
Truck drivers need to drive with more caution and owners of pickups should stop carrying people at the back. PEOPLE SITTING AT THE BACK OF PICKUP TRUCKS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER INSURANCE POLICIES!Admin please allow me to use caps for this sentence, its important.
so many young ppl dying these days. we need to be more careful. my heart goes out to the family of shane even if i knew him not.
in this day and age no one should be riding behind of trucks,should be banned.its banned in the us and europe its not rocket science public safety.
Agreed! Today there are many vehicles on the road and many more accidents than in previous years. It is unsafe to ride at the back of an open vehicle. In the event of an impact the person could be thrown from the vehicle. This is what occurred to the teenager which led to his death. It is so sad. This practice should be banned.
If the traffic and transport board or whichever is responsible take their responsibility seriously instead of just talking (like) last weeks road safety week…and do more action..there would be more responsible drivers..guadeloupe has less accidents because ppl who speed the highways or overtake in the wrong places and go over the speed limit are ticketed ..u don’t pay and ur ticket doubles til u reach a limit and they take the money from ur acct or locks ur acct til u pay..lives r being lost cus ppl r greedy to make money running the road and poor passengers r afraid to say slow down cus drivers r so unpolite..truck drivers(long truckers) speed past even overtaking ..I haVe soo much to say on this topic it makes me angry cus the laws r jus not being enforced on this island
This is so sad! Just when I thought Dominicas’ accident quota had expired 3 weeks ago! God grant strength to his family and loved ones.
I’m reading through the comments.no wonder some of u r Dominicans.just dias.what did the officer do?2nd,y u asking for bad in the country.don’t make sense.rip this young man.
Texan…i taking offense at your comment, “no wonder some of you r Dominicans”…so what the heck you expect us to be, “Texans” like you??? You sell your soul for your god the U.S. Go and read U.S. news and stop bothering with Dominica.
Why is a Texan commenting on a Dominican incident? Is there nothing to do in Texas? Piss off punk!
May God bless your soul and keep you. God’s blessings also to the family.
Young man, I am sorry that you have lost your life in an accident. Now that you have gone to eternity, I hope and pray that God has you in His care. May your soul rest in peace. Amen!
My heartfelt sympathy to his family and friends. It is so sad to lose a young one suddenly. Worst yet, one who was not sick. You are being remembered in my prayers. Take heart. May God bless you and strengthen you.
the world is a stage we are just acting today is mins tomorrow is yours, watch wat u are saying things happen, the driver of the truck is a young man to wat make you think the truck driver is not mentally disturbed due to this incident, once again watch what we are saying……
My condolences to the victim’s mother and family and also the entire Victor family. Our prayers are with you. Let God take control.
some of u all here full of it.. always negative
i think we need to be more careful wen we speak. my prayers goes out to the family
May the Lord grant the family peace and solace in this time of bereavement. May the young man’s soul rest in peace. God has a plan for all of us, we just do not realize it.
Family, comfort yourselves and each other. Every day will be another day without your loved one, but every day you will be comforted with his memory. I know because I have had a similar loss.
Firstly, condolences to the family and friends if Shane. Secondly, I am fed up with hearing about yet another accident, and yet another life lost. What will it take for all of us to start taking care on the roads. Drivers, please write to let everyone know what the purpose is of driving so fast? What is the hurry, cos most of you don’t rush for anything else – especially to do your work! SLOW DOWN, only IDIOTS with no brains drive so reckless. Stop killing or trying to kill innocent people on the roads.

Accidents happen cannot be an excuse particularly when we see the gross level of negegence by motorists. I have seen soe trucks on the rad , the condition of the tires is crazy.
I sympathize with the victims family however when these accidents happen we must not e afraid to talk about the negligence and laid back attitude in our country. We can save lives by calling things by their names.
I still see trucks driving around with unprotected loads – no covers. Fellas driving these trucks with tires thin as toilet paper. My questionis what is the traffic department role in road safety.
I see bus drivers go to the bar to have 1 or 2 beers then get behind the wheel to carry passengers. I see bus drivers on their cell phone. I see bus drivers overtaking Indiscriminately; motorcyclist on the road without head protective gear;
Man, some of us just plain dumb. instead of worrying about minor things like how a police officer is dressed or how he looks… be human ans sympathetic for the family who grieves. the man must have come out highcourt, reason y he is dressed like that and what on earth he doing with a belt to help with a accident and to control traffic. Y’all to sort and badminded!! u look for all minor shit to sa negative about people. he lookign scruffy my foot. the man is assisting with an accident. y’all know what the bigger issue at hand is? The son of Bertie from Portsmouth who was driving the truck, find out what license he has. not one to drive truck for sure!! talk about that instead.
u have something against the family. there should be a law that no should sit or ride in the back of a truck.
There is no need to post names. Does it matter who was driving. What matters is that, was it an honest accident or not. Only the heavenly father and the both drivers can answer. There are 2 sides to every story but only 1 TRUTH. look up the definition of accident.
That is the true question, what license he have. And why didnt they state that it was an unlicensed individual driving the truck that caused a death… Smh. If is some other person that cause de accident im sure they would put the person name and age.. smdh
to wonder…. what do u have against the driver. Live your life. God says do not judge. What u think the driver have some type of prefable treatment. You do not know the struggles one faces or where they came from. we are loving.
RIP SHANE. Dominica don’t have enough road signs, and all the drivers don’t have patience. Everybody driving fast on the new road and putting others in danger. Take allu time please. Hospital bill not Small!!!!
Lord what pain! To the family I say hold strong. Poor boy, it’s just so sad.
So sad to hear this may his soul rest in peace, lord give his family strength and corage at this time of their lost. Most of the comments does not feet the story people please think if you right now live your home and never come back. The government need to put some speed bumps on this high way road does anyone think of putting this comment.
The truck driver should be sighted for negligent homicide.Truck drivers in dominica have to realise that a truck especially if it’s loaded should be driven with great care especially on wet mountainous roads of dominica.I have seen these dump trucks driven around dominica and it’s ridiculous.This accident could have been prevented.
Hmmm this is so tru..truck drivers drive really crzi on the highway..we don’t. Seem to have any traffic laws on this island. No speed limit on the roads. No highway patrol. We r so lucky accidents r few on the E.O Leblanc highway cus its always a scary ride from portsmouth to roseau..always..traffic or transport board get the laws enforced. Ticket those who speed ex cessively and wrecklessly, ticket those who overtake carelessly..u will make thousands of dollars per day cus that’s exactly how majority of our drivers roll..startn with trucks and busdrivers..
“highway patrol” IN DOMINICA? LOL RLMFAO!!!
no pick up is insured and authorized to carry passengers in the back. truck driver has no part
Who is to say that in this particular instance the truck driver was not driving carefully? Sometimes we make too many premature and uninformed comments on DNO.
Let me tell you who is to say if the truck driver was too fast in this instance, THE WITNESSES WHO WERE IN ANOTHER VEHICLE, thats who is to say, now sit down and shut up. Somebody died, and too often we dismiss this as “just an accident” too many “just accidents” if people start paying a price we will be more cautious. Hope that young man who seem to be under 25 had a class C and he was an authorized driver of that truck or else……
Everything should be treated on case by case basis. Don’t assume because of some, it is all.
For my own sanity I must stop reading DNO, I cannot stomach all this sad news, especially involving young people.
Being alive, how could you avoid sad news? You should reside in the U.S., Canada or Europe. Then consider what occurred in Bangladesh and whatever else occurs throughout the world as relayed through the Media and Internet. As long as there are people in the world, there will always be accidents and sad news. Some of it may be negligence, willful or not. That is life. Where will you hide from sad news?
A week ago a married man with a wife and baby was murdered in Ontario. He advertised his truck for sale On Line. Two men came to his home with the intention (wickedly, unknown to him of course)saying that they are interested and want to test the truck. He went in the truck with them saying to his wife, “I’ll see you soon”. The end result is they murdered him and burnt his body. His remains were found a day or so ago.
Another man said that he had also placed his vehicle for sale On-Line. Those men came to his home and did the exact thing but the man is a burly one and they did not harm him. He gave the police a description of one of those men who has a tattoo. He was caught. Another or others are at large. Who knows? They may be caught soon or in time. The dead man’s truck was recovered in a container in the murderer’s mother’s yard. The police did a good job so far of at least catching one.
In discussing this sad situation with someone tonight we agreed that there are some wicked people in the world and it is depressing to hear and read of this. How sad it is for especially the man’s wife. She pleaded for his return but to no avail. I visualize that, no doubt, the man pleaded for his life but those murderers paid no heed.
What occurred today in Salisbury is an accident and as sad as it is a young man lost his life, consider what happened to that man. I pray that God had mercy on his soul and also for his wife and relatives. It is no easy matter for them.
If you are a practicing Christian, the only solution is to pray and hoping that God had mercy on the soul of this young man. Pray for his soul. Pray also for his grieving relatives that God will strengthen them.
Do you know the Serenity Prayer? If you sincerely pray you will find some solace and strength which God will grant you as you hear and read of these sad news. Pray also for the eradication of accidents and general crimes in DA and even in the world. So much more could be stated. Pray for peace and serenity. God’s love and peace.
Goodbye.
My heart goes to the family. Lord comfort his family at the momment of grief.May you RIP young man. To loss a child suddenly is nothing easy. My condolences to the family.
why so many negative comments.in times like now we need each other.everyone needs one.rest in peace young man
let us pray for the familly for god strenght ,,death is a cruel thing we should all be sad in things like that young man so,, may his soul rest in pease
ok was the CT scan working ??
well maybe we need a state of the art hospital before a stae of the art library. just wondering.
Good question! Don’t let those thumbsdowners sidetrack you at all. YOU are right on track!!!
But the state palace will be ready soon and the stadium is always there so maybe those 2 money sucking monuments can save lives and provide safety on our roads.
Ask the questions! demand the answers! Command action!
very sad
so sad shane may your soul rip
so sad , very quiet young man, my sympathies to his entire family. May God give you strength during this time.
Some of us dominicans can talk nonsense sometimes….and manage to put politics in every situation..omg!
pray for all our young person out there whose lives are being taken so early especially the young men heart goes out to you shane
I was on the spot when the accident occurred. The pick got hit by a big dump truck. The truck was coming up the hill from Portsmouth. The pick was coming from south. The driver of the dump truck said to me, “He was coming up the hill and the back of the truck started going through the grass on the left side of the truck, I was not driving fast he said. It was me and the tall black partner over there.” He continued to say. “That caused the dump truck to loose control spinning back into the road. At the same time the pickup truck was coming.” Loaded with provisions, ginger, pineapples etc. The driver said there was nothing that he could do the truck just started to slide towards the pickup and smashed right into the right side of the pick up. The young man was at the back of the pick got thrown into the wall of that first house on the right at the top of that hill. He got injuries on his head, jar, should and a serious open wound on the back of his left leg. I MEAN A SERIOUS WOUND, OPEN TO WHERE YOU COULD SEE THE BONE BALL JOINT AND KNEE CAP. Water came out of my eyes. I felt so sorry for that young man. So sad. He was still unconscious when I got there laying on his back. He came to just when the first two police officers got there from salisbury. The dump truck continued going and crashed into the wall of the house.
he would never say he was driving fast
why? that is the problem i have with some of you . the man speaks the truth you getting defensive; if it was your child you would have liked him to say he was driving fast. now on the issue of driving fast, fast for him might be just 40KMP and fast for another might be 60Kmh. now there again we see there is much more work to be done. like i always say that is where the opposition comes in to help the country by saying where we are lacking instead of blasting one man day after day. you mean to tell me the opposition can t even see a need for speed limit signs all over the country and challenge the government to imple ment such
you were not there. Do not Judge.
Most times thode trucks do not climb hills very fast especially with load, but on a flat and down a hill, they run really fast. So knowing a bit about trucks, I believe he may not have been driving fast(up a hill).
I guess this accident is one that could not be avoided. I think it is past time that passengers stop sitting in the back of open vehicles especially if the vehicle is loaded. This is a very sad situation for both families, one that the family of the deceased will never forget.
to continue i was saying the opposition can challenge the government to implement such prijects instead of boycotting the house . dominica is the only country without speed limit signs on highways and you see we upgrading our road now?but these upgrades comes with much more work missing. imagine up to now no minister has seen the need for speed bumps in Mahaut? again i realise we have non leaders in leadership positions and this nom is now hunting us. leaders are born not made.TO BE CONTINUED
Well said !
@ You Serious Man…What you think the truck driver would start to say? Truck always loosing control, never their fault!
Omg!! *tears* this is so sad!!
Is Shane a college student? I am wondering if he is the guy I have recently been running into/meeting and yesterday we greeted each other for the first time. My deepest sympathies.
no he is not a college student…
alas…………. i really saw this on my way back from work but i did not know what happened….. is when i came on dno i saw that it was an accident
May God carry in his arms your loved ones whose hearts are aching under the weight of grief that your loss has brought… this is indeed a sad moment in time.
Simply sad
sad man..18 is very young
R.I.P shane, u will b missed homie
some of you people are sadistic,dominica needs prayers,once citizens of a country are so divided it will not survive,the hate is being broadcasted daily on the morning show,have a leader that is trying his best for the country yet some of you have such malice towards him,shame on this country.
Stop voting for people who trying their best and vote for someone who is qualified to take us to the next level. Someone who can increase job creation, improving infrastructure, education, healthcare etc…
You are correct. In addition, there are also religious divisions which contribute to lack of love, peace and unity. I read and experienced it on this Website. Consider how many renounced their Catholic Faith to follow other religions, people who came from practically nowhere and they instantly believed their false indoctrination. There are times, through instinct I view it as a punishment for their actions which they brought upon Dominica, other nationals and themselves. Little do some people know. Those who are blind and deaf to it will find out the truth someday.
some of us too stupid.we dont know where d officer was going. was he dressed waiting for d accident?but where is d other vehicle involved.and who killed d bot?
If is how the officer dressed you worrying about in a situation like that you have some soul searching to do.
Looks like officer either comming from court or on his way there.Or some other official function.As police officer he is doing what he was trained to do stop and assist
hmmmmmmmm
R.I.P shane
why give a thumps down for sayin rest in peace shane… this person don’t knw what rip means
Politics and Religion…the forces that divide in scoiety. This accident was fatal; young man lost his life, yet still some of us Dominicans choose to bring politics into this. I really don’t get it. My thoughts are with the family during this difficult time. Please be careful on the road.
*us
my heart goes to everyone in this sad time.even if i try to understand what this young man family is going through i dare not to imagine.
it was just confirmed that he is dead…..may he soul rest in peace. 18 year old boy
i understand that the guy who got injured in the accident has passed away. RIP. may his family be strong. such a sad incident.
Disciplined for what, nah? He looks so cute in his uniform ! I just hope he didn’t dirty it ! At least he can be an encourgement to the injured and the others around.
Disciplined for what?? Stop being a donkey!!!
some people can be so sarcastic in what they say… is not SKERRO that cause the accident.. that u gonna be like long live skerro… gosh man
some people also don’t like to see a negative comment but that comment may be true and u need to respect that, knowin that it’s true and bein bitter with urself
People be careful on the road please
Allu jean Dominique too fast!!! allu dnt kno wat happen bt allu jumpin to conclusions… its a normal thing for accidents to happen!! for allu to be praying for the person in the accident allu preaching violence.. wen will y’all grow up? and to those to talking on the police man shut up cuz y’all dnt kno his reason for being dr.. matter of fact he wasnt even the officer for the scene.. sh8 man!!!
MORE has to come.
What you are asking to come to our people
might well come to you first when you least expect it
Don’t wish for bad things to happen to others
It might be a curse you pushing unto yourself or family or loved ones.
STOP THE BAD TALK AND HATE
This thumbs-up was in error..should be a thumbs down…VERY Negative Statement
Waht does that mean?
@Me’s statement: What do you mean by more has to come? you are so ignorant!!! negative minded..I rebuke in the name of Jesus..be careful what you wish for it might just happen to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
u r such an idiot….
God is not a Police. We the readers don’t know who you are but God knows. Ask for forgiveness.
@me …you put some voodoo on them? Only people who do voodoo say such. You need to go on your knees and ask God for forgiveness. A young man just lost his life in a tragic accident and this is the best thing you find to say
it is better to be thought of as a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. you have confirmed that you my dear have taken the award for biggest fool before and after opening your mouth.
for what
people take it easy on the roads…some roads are wet and smooth and some of our tires are not in the best condition…take precaution my people!!
don’t u think this is a much more sensible comment to post? please people….use this site so someone else can learn and identify with your posted comments….most of all, be sensitive to others when u post….think….what if it were me in this situation?????
go n cook allu husband n children food…. zor two fass!!!!!!!it almost 1 o clock
Another comment hidden due to LOW COMMENT RATING. Would that be your business whether or not the people’s husband’s and children’s food was not cooked? You know what time it is, why were you not cooking food for your family. Yeah, I have fed my family because it is 9:03 p.m. and I am reading your LOW COMMENT RATING POST. DUH!
You are wierd
Then why are you here??
Let us reverse this curse by stop calling for BLOOD on those talkshows.
Let us hope that the person makes it through.
We need LOVE
TOO much Hate in Dominica.
What does that have to do with an accident?
theme: we need love
Ignorance, of course.
WE FINISH
dat a comment for people to DISLIKE
Damn shame on you haters
Accidents happen everywhere, Dominica is not the only one. In every major city in the U.S.A there is a major accident everyday. What makes Dominica a special case?
I think you should just focus on sharing love and that goes for the entire universe; life is too fragile.
Wayne C, no one is saying accidents do not happen in other places such as the USA; however, we are in no position to question who to grieve and how they should grieve. An accident with fatal results regardless to where it happened, yes, even in good old Dominica, to their families and friends and sympathetic onlookers it is a special case.
Let us pray that the victims improves
LONG LIVE SKERRO
I HOPE that those injured will get full recovery and their family and loved ones and Spragggs receive the help of all the people of Bawi in this difficult times
Does everything to you DA Dominicans have to be politically inclined. My little cousin is dead!!! Why not send condolences n well wishes to his family without calling the PM or Mr. Johns name. We need to really move pass the blues, the reds and the greens etc n just be humane.
i agree
What does Skerrit have to do with this accident and any other accident? You are really MALMARYAY.
STHU This is why Dominica still in the middle ages. Bunch of idiots. This 18 yr old kid lost his life but this jack- brings up politics and the other dummy talks about how the officer is dressed. Get your stuff together Dominicans, if you want to talk about politics then be sensible. Talk about the legislation that needs to be passed and enforced. Road safety should be highlighted because it is an incredible concern; streetlights, road signs, seatbelt laws etc…
what is wrong with such a statement ? Whats wrong is supporting Spaggs?
How does a political minister factor into a tragedy like this? It is you guys’ obsession with politics that has the country in the gutter; wake up.
Very sad and I hope nobody lose their life. But DNO, I must hand it to you. You are on the ball, reporting news while it is still hot. DBS will soon become obsolete.
Obsolete? DBS? Awah wi..not DBS. Jamay pas!!
To be honest DBS is a Radio Station. DBS has its job to do and so does DNO. You cannot compare them. Furthermore not everyone own computers. Some of those who have TV may also not own computers. Think also of those who may be blind. These rely on the radio. Others also rely on the newspapers for news. What if your computer is inoperable? Would you not listen to the radio?
DBS is government-owned. It will never become obsolete. In any case the radio is here to stay. It will not be replaced by TV and Internet.
All the same DNO is to be highly commended and appreciated of being able to post the news instantly as they occur especially for those who reside in DA.
we need to start ontop… this officer should be disciplined…
wat has he done?
Fist of all this officer could just be traveling to another location and stop to help the victims of the accident, hence he being in this uniform at this time.
So you have to know all the facts before you call for discipline , ok!
We all know that a Police officer will not respond to an accident dressed in his Tu-nicks.
He should be commended for his actions.
What should he be disciplined for?
for not wearing a belt with his jacket. looks a bit scruffy. And his cap, yes, definitely needs his cap.
Disciplined for what? Being in the photo? Ha!
I think this person is referring to the order in which the police officer carries his uniform. Not neatly dressed, with shirt outside of pant. My opinion.
Disiplined for what? Some people are so ignorant and just say whatever they want. It’s quitE obvious that the officer did not plan to come to the scene and maybe just stopped there on his way. At least he was committed enough to even stop. You people need to stop belittling others and stick to the point!
I hope if you get in an accident and a police passing by in his tunics I hope he pass you like bwennass! you too sot!
Ignorant! Disciplined for being where an accident happened? Steupes
the officer is from the village . i am sure he wasjust there to assist . disipline for what? idiot
dont you realize that his dressing tell that he was on his way to court may criminal assizes open alas poor you make yourself number one fool
In your opinion, for what should this officer be disciplined? In my opinion, for your LOW COMMENT RATING. Where is your common sense? The officer was doing the right thing, his job as a law enforcement officer and as a citizen. Hello!
Some of you are something else; always scrutinizing pictures/people, commenting about them and criticizing them rather than addressing the issue. People as you call others idiot on this Website when you do not agree with their comments and are not pleased with what they state. I am informing you it is idiotic of you and whoever else to comment about the presence of the policeman. After all, he is a member of the Police Force and we should not find it surprising that he is on the scene.
So what is all this about the policeman? What is your problem? Why his presence on the scene be important to you and your primary concern?
I read the news, saw the pictures and did not even pay attention to the policeman. In fact, I saw nothing exceptional about his presence since he is a policeman. To me it was normal that he was present.
It should not surprise anyone that the policeman is at the scene of the accident. An accident occurred. An 18 year-old was injured and later died. This is the issue; not that a policeman is standing by, the scene of an accident. He may have been driving/walking by and happened to come on the scene. Probably someone telephoned the police station and he was sent. He may have received the call and immediately went to the scene of the accident. Whatever, he is a policeman on the scene who was able to assist the injured, direct traffic and to take particulars of what occurred.He is a welcome sight and sign, one who is fulfilling his duty as a policeman! Everyone should be pleased with his presence on the scene of the accident.
