    Obviously, police and firemen smiling and watching, hands empty, no sign of urgency to clear area, or to pretend to look they pursuing some action. Some of them better off working under the penguins in Madagaster… Then when the driver complain of chest pains, start complaining on the health system and the hospital again…

    @Grand Bayrian: You are asking for a lot from a police force that is untrained and ill equipted to handle these sort of things !

    I must say, the good lord was on the drivers side; he walked away from that without being seriously injured.

    My questions are for the police. Do these guys just show up at the scene for photo ups? or do they do investigations? Re: condition of road, wet or dry?, was driver speeding or not? condition of tires? bold tires, or good working condition? driver was high or low? vehicle was in good condition? the critical issues, and make a data bank of information, I find to many of these types of accidents are happening in dominica, cars always rolling over. They are meant to drive on all fours not on its roof.
