There has been an accident in Fond Cole close to the the coast guard base earlier on Thursday morning.
Reports indicate it involves a Kubuli truck and a Toyota Corolla car.
The truck has flipped on its side and the car received extensive damages.
DNO was informed car’s driver has been transported to hospital but the extent of his injuries is unknown at this time.
Everyone hustling to get somewhere eventually gets nowhere.
hmmm. a corolla tipping over a truck? bet the driver of the corolla was a carib beer drinker. lol.
just a lil humor in this unfortunate situation pple. hope nobody was seriously injured
Tragic and costly accident! I pray that none of the drivers are from the gay community. We gays are so careful on the road, it’s just part of our humble nature. I hope no one was seriously injured! Kisses from the pretty boys in Roseau!
no matter what speed u in,u see a big cargo in the road reduce ur speed……period
is nt ntn bout reduce speed… if an accident has to happen it will happen!…whether drivin slow or fast!
There are too many accidents in Fond Cole. The investigation will prove who was at fault.
Drivers, never let your guard down. Drive safely and always look out for other drivers including pedestrians.
I would like to know, where the HELL, they going driving fast. All these twists, turns, ups and downs, Where are they going but to kill themselves, and especially the innocent. Stop showing off yourselves behind a wheel. I know thee are times to speed, but for Gods sake, where in Dominica we can speed on a good two mile road without, turning or twisting.
Only ignorant people drive without commonsense. Metal, rubber, gas, is no match for skin and bones. That’s what we humans are made off. A little extra fat is not going to help.
Is our emergency department equipped for those frequent road accidents? We hav new ambulances to take us to d I’ll see u ward once u reach there is gentle rest…
You made me laugh. I think it should rather be, any way of preventing those accidents which result in loss of property as vehicles, injuries and deaths.
When all you driving like holes on the road just mind me…
Oh that’s the movie set scene…the people are running and the aliens…tried very hard to get a gig but acting skills are mediocre
*sound of crickets*
de truck wrong. it shld wait it time to move out. der doe hve speed limit de car can speed all it wnt (right of way)
Do you need a speed limit to be careful?
Brother, please learn to spell so we may understand you.
true that
Is this a new Dominican language?
MG 1000, you need to think before posting, reflect on what you write before you press Post Comment.
truck is top heavy with fluid load so it is easy to cause a flip unlike a car that has a lower center of gravity.. So getting a truck to flip is easy… getting a truck with liquids in it to flip is even easier…. getting a car to hit a truck with liquid load to flip is you get the point.
Wrong!!!! Your comments are strangely incorrect. The Possible cause as to why this commercial vehicle may have toppled over maybe,because its payload were incorrect distributed when loaded.
Please note I am a UK Based Road Traffic Accident Investigator and i have dealings with lots of those cases Daily.Hence.
What’s the difference? load incorrectly distributed and top heavy?
@Unbiased Successor.
Thanks for adding a bolt of sanity to the usual insane outpoouring we get her.
keep your investigation to the UK. no one ask u.
@Kay-A little bit of education for you from my 32 years experience as a Road transport Investigation >See Below.
When talking about vehicle weight, almost everybody knows that a vehicle has a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) which refers to its plated weight. What a lot of people don’t realise is that there is also a plated weight for the front and rear axles. This means that although you could be running legally overall, you could be illegal thanks to the weight being balanced too far to the front or rear.This is why in this instance why the vehicle may have toppled so easily.This is one of my projectile i would take in court to substantiate my evidences if i were to be involve on this case.
PS>Please Note I am a Dominican Based in the UK.I do know what i am talking about so please be too ignorant.
Or it could have been top heavy… Mr. Road Traffic Accident Investigator
imagine that happening in Mahaut village……smh
Just drink more kubuli and we nice lol
Kubuli hold your own, lol !
Kubuli Che Be Sa’w!
Not sure who is at fault here however, just want to send a word of advice to the truck drivers:
PLEASE STOP THE FAST DRIVING THIS CAN CAUSE UNWARRANTED DEATHS!
Not just truck drivers, but bus drivers as well.
Free beer!!!!!!
That truck wheel looking so smooth. Driver must have been speeding to cause a flip…
youself have more guts trying to look at the truck wheel in that low quality picture….
Lol I checking. I want Mr eye sight.
The wheels was the first thing I noticed.
Truck proceding from secondary road to the main road at that intersection and heading to canefield (north)(right turn).
Car approaching second intesection/pedestrian crossing heading south to Roseau.
Eighter Truck did not see Car coming/or mis-timed the car, or the Car was driving too darned fast in this area…..BAAAMMMM
Car hits truck causing Truck to Flip.
What ever else…….that car was TOO FAST!!!!
dts a high way and d car has right of way so u tryin to sound smart makes no sense cuz obviously d car can speen all it wants dr and d truck has to wait for it to pas pffffff
Mr Anonymouse…
I mentioned the words ” in this area “, among others which you chose to neglect. Well…In this area the Car driver first passed the FondCole BUSSS STOP, OK. There you have a PEDESTRIAN CROSSING and INTERSECTION. So you Especting People and Traffic movement across the road. There-for NOT a place to be SPEEEEDING. Next, he is approaching ANOTHER BUS STOP AND PEDESTRIAN Crossing and INTERSECTIONZZZZ, OK. And at that time of the morning you have INCREASED activity. So smart Drivers know this is NOT a place to be Speeding like that. You could HIT somebody or in this case a Truck crossing the road. Nobody’s trying so sound smart.PLZZZZ
Can I spell the word SUE !
Do they SUE in Dominica? I thought suing was only done in America.
as a witness..the car was speeding… it u pass on that road now..u would see the brake marks on the road coming from the north..the location the car was coming from….Dont judge situations so quickly…The kubuli driver was not speeding and tried to avoid the accident…
What speeding? stupes do u know where the truck was c oming from and where the accident happen? how can he be speeding ? fools stop spreading liesss
for your info the truck has brand new tires
Do you know who is at fault?
This is a very dangerous location. Vehicles have a habbit of overtaking on the inside (left hand side) when a vehicle in front of them is stationary on the main road, waiting to turn right into the Fond Cole Rd.- I must admit that have done so myself. I think that the outside lane nr. this T-junction (let’s say right from the coast guard exit road) should be blocked off to make this kind of overtaking impossible.
PS. Whilst on the subject can the authorities also pls. relocate the nearby bustop (opposite the fish vending place), which is located right on a pedestrian crossing smack on the main road. Again, this is so dangerous.
hope everybody is ok some of my best friends work in kubuli my heart goes out to all
His comment alone gives you a clear indication of his level of intelligence and his lack of understanding of the media works and how it gets and post news,forgive him because hes does not know better.Just a clue most persons have “smart phones” if you can figure it out. Smh.
Check you’re grammar bro……
I believe you should check “yours”
actually it should be your… just saying
Forget about the grammar crap. Most people on here can’t spell, but you can still read what they’re saying (most of the time), so GIVE UP THE GRAMMER COMMENTS FOLKS UNLESS THE ARTICLE IS AN GAMMER WRITING CONTEST!
Check YOUR* grammar, ese.
Wow! that car strong………..
hahaha
them truck drive too fast take it easy.
check eveybody cell phone someone was not paying attentiom.
ok this is an accident and someone might be seriosly hur know one should make fun of this but y is the truck on it side?and the car is standin still i think toyota should make a commercial out of this one
maybe because size doesnt matter, a car has a lower center of gravity than a truck? hmm, i wonder
Physics.. such a wonderful thing
Maybe the truck swerved to avoid the car and lost control!
Did you guys take this picture with a calculator? my tetris takes better pictures….
in this situation u smiling
It would be ironic if the injured is a member of your family. Of all things, you are inquiring about a picture quality? A human was taken to the hospital – have you no heart at all?
Your argument is invalid…
how does picture quality make thing better or worse? some of allu to like to play righteous, the picture can either be good or bad, so what Mf?
lol
0.0000001 mega pixels
Yeah you can count the pixels in that frame…
them man driving too fast on the nice road take it easy
