The Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force is investigating a traffic collision in the Pottersville area on Tuesday 9th June which resulted in the death of Wayne Junior Orlé of Soufriere.
According to a police report, Orlé was riding a motor scooter northward on the EO Leblanc highway when he collided with a pedestrian, Jefferson Simon of Grandbay.
The two individuals were taken via ambulance to the Dominica China Friendship Hospital (DCFH) for treatment of their injuries. Both individuals were admitted to the hospital, however, Orlé was admitted to the intensive care unit due to the severity of his injuries.
He was airlifted on Thursday 11th June to Martinique for neurosurgery in an effort to save his life.
However, Orlé’s condition was deemed to be too severe to operate and he was airlifted back to Dominica on Sunday 14th June where he was again admitted to the ICU at the DCFH.
He subsequently succumbed to his injuries on Monday 15th June 2020.
Orlé’s body is now at the Lyndhurst funeral home awaiting a post mortem.
May his soul RIP!
What I would like to know is whether he was carrying sufficient insurance to cover the medical and living expenses of the pedestrian and his family!
It is time to REMOVE these bikers and their zootee lamort from the streets of Roseau and environs! They are a NUISANCE!! All that’s needed is the passage of legislation to have have them carry at least $1M in insurance coverage. That will certainly Get rid of them!
ADMIN, I know and agree that a death under such circumstances requires an investigation. My query is not with DNO, I just find it difficult to accept that NINE days AFTER the accident is when the police are issuing the information!!🤔🤔😐 that an investigation is to be carried out.
HOTEP!
Is this true, DNO? When did your publication get the information from the police? Today?
If today, you are telling me that the accident occurred on nine days ago (June 9th) and nine days later is when the police is investigating??
Something is blurred here. Please let us know when the information from the police reached you.
Surely, our police are better than that!
HOTEP!
ADMIN: The information was released to all media today. A death under these circumstances requires an investigation.
Hello and good afternoon my people. The guy wasn’t wearing a helmet so he suffered serious head trauma and he was declared brain dead. They should have kept him on a ventilator and take his organ to help others. Am tired of seeing moped and motorcycle riders in Dominica not wearing helmets. Please enforce the regulations that’s on the books. Rest in peace young man if you can.
