Brian McPherson who resided in St. Aroment, Goodwill, a security officer by profession, is the ill-fated victim of a motor vehicle accident which occurred on the evening of February 27, 2022.
The police have confirmed that McPherson and his wife, on the aforementioned date, were en route to their home shortly after 9:00 p.m. when they were struck by a passing pick-up truck.
The pair were transported to the Dominica China Friendship Hospital (DCFH) where McPherson succumbed to the injuries which he sustained.
According to the police, the wife of the deceased is in stable condition and the matter is being investigated.
It is sad when our police cannot be trusted in any investigation because they are not credible and have become the political arm of injustice as seen in the Chucksi matter and other political investigations.
Although this one might not be partisan yet we can see a lot of dark holes in this police statement. For example this: ” According to the police, the wife of the deceased is in stable condition and the matter is being investigated.”
Ok is the driver arrested as part of the investigation? Is he charged for a crime? Was his phone taken as part of the investigation just to see if anyone called him before the accident? What about the wife who is in stable condition? Has she been questioned by the police? Did she have a phone with her? Was the phone taken to see if she had any conversation with anyone before the accident? If the answer is no to any of the above then that’s a damb weak police investigation that sounds more like a police interference.
But wait you want the police to put all that information out in the public? The matter is being investigated…. so they will be doing just that and more when the time comes.
They always know,when it comes to giving a statement they never know they never see.That is why they put a parrot on our flag. Talk,talk and more talk.
that d/can to d bone seems you know all. and seems you were there. u already say she was in the vehicle that jam the man, i want to know how she end up outside standing with him
In most residential neighborhoods the speed limit is between 20 to 30 mph. This “crumple zone” you mentioned doesn’t take pedestrians into consideration; and I wish it did. Because it would have crumpled and not kill this man. Furthermore, if crumple zones (which “supposedly”) made the frame/chassis weaker on some vehicles had pedestrians in mind – Then the victim’s family would be able to sue the automobile manufacturer. (A) Crumple Zones were initially designed to protect the driver and passenger (s) inside the vehicle. (B) Crumple Zones causes the vehicle to sustain extensive body damage primarily in a head on collision; which would require more sales in body parts for repair. Thus, the money that’s generated due to “Crumple Zones” is enormous. (C) Crumple Zones does not prevent the airbags from deploying. So then, hoping for lesser damages or injuries because of crumple zone is a lie and wishful thinking. Did the driver know the victim? A life was taken and must be accounted for
I dont know this man and family but my condolences are with you all…but…i am on tge road driving everyday.. and those who they give to upheld the law are not doing a good job….all they would do is around month end is to create nonesence road blockage to make money for the government…Dominica is not a real country….its sad…wifey… try hard to console yourself but….
How FAST was the driver going for HIS vehicle to sustain that kind of damage? Slow down! My Godness! Now, a young life is lost and his wife is left to mourn.
Actually at that angle and that being the front/side crumple zone it does not take that much speed to attain that kinda damage. I’ve seen worse done at 30 to 40 mph crashes. It’s the crumple zone it’s designed to squash like that to absorb the impact energy.
My condolences to the family of the deceased
Left to morn my foot smh.
D/can to the bone (my foot)
Why such comment? Were YOU the driver? Is his wife not left to mourn? Did youhave an axe to grind with them? Did you all have “beef?” Hmmm. You’re unsympathetic, but be careful out there…you never know!
DNO get the facts streight. That was willful murder with a transport and not no blasted accident, but the high court system supports murder and murderers, even setting them free after they are found guilty. Bring back the gallows.
Tell them, but still t makes no sense until their own people in the problem. Do know the story but they have to fix it to look like is accident smh. Sad
My deepest condolences to the family of Brian McPherson. I am very happy his wife is doing better but I can imagine the pain to see how her husband was taken from her before her eyes. Special prayers for this young widow.
Hmm I glad for u. When u dunno de story eh smh just saying things……….fault y he dead camem!! wickedness. Smh
