Dominica News Online has received information that Minster of Agriculture Matthew Walters was involved in a motor vehicle accident this morning.
The accident occurred near Borne around 8:00 a.m.
His wife and child, Marah Matthew (former Ms. Dominica 2008) were also aboard the vehicle.
Reports are that the Minister, who was driving, swerved to avoid another vehicle and ran off the road. They were spared being dragged down a treacherous precipice when they hit a mile marker.
Walters, who is also Member of Parliament for Paix Bouche, and his family were not injured.
DNO is following the story and will bring more information as soon it becomes available.
Very relieved to hear that no one was injured.
To all drivers in Dominica: Drive with due care, remember yours’ is not the only car on the road. Think of others. Dominican roads are not racing circuits.
It hurts to see how some of our people have become, so insensitive and void of human emotions. In a time of potential tragedy, people choose to spew their hatred and political venom. I remember the times when neighbors who had not spoken for years could still find it within them in times of trouble to put bad blood aside and help each other. Never thought i would live to see the day when we would let politics harden our hearts towards a fellow dominican.
Anyways thank god that Mr. Walter and his family were able to come out of this unscathed. Never cease to offer your prayers and thanksgiving to the most high.
Stop listening to them talk shows and concentrate on the road.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE.

Some drivers drive for themself only, is like they own the road. Almost kill the man and his family.

Donald Tusk, you should have completed your statement, but i want to tell you, YOU MUST STOP THAT. ‘Leh barb camawad ou puis difay pwen glo evec woosay sa ou’
And your point?????
Well thank God no one was injured.Once you are driving on the road, then anything is likely to happen at any given time.
Having said that, I really did not know is this man that is minister of agriculture. I THOUGHT it was still Ambrose yes ! But he is not working man? I cant say when last I heard this minister said something about agriculture. What I do hear though, is the pm covering up for all the ministries.
If you have nothing positive to say, why dont you shut up! Does everything have to be so darn negative all the time? Come on man!
Whats wrong with you people shame on you. Soso we do know when ours coming. Lets pray for the family and stop that. Shame on you!
ohoh. So sorry. Thank God all is safe. Praise God for that. Praying for the Family.
Bondieu, god protected dem, alas
Thank God there were no injuries, the hand of God held the vehicle back. Thank you Lord.
