Doiminican’s, when u hear some emergency vehicle coming, get off the way. When they get to the situation, get off the way. You all cannot help, just to gossi foolishly and not producing no fruit.
We need to not call each other stupid or not so kind works, even though u don’t like what they say.
We must be more constructive and not distructive. Remember, whatever we put on the World Wide Web, it is there to stay, and the whole world judge us by what we say and put out there. We are smart people, act like smart people. We need the whole world wanting to come to our country, not being turned off by what we say and do.
Even though we are angry, as the bible says,”Be angry and sin not. Watch our tongue and what we put on these key boards. Move forward.
I have seen worst. All it needs is a headlamp and it will be as good as new.
Anyone of you witness this incident? -why soooooo many audiences???? why?why? tell me why?.Or is it because you all are so inquisitive.
I just hoe the occupants were in seat belts and they have not sustained serious injuries.Also have the SRS(Secondary restraint System) Airbags deployed on impact, if not, I suggest the owner to contacting Honda for an explanation as those features are designed for safety.
Accidents are part of modern society. get a grip stupid people
does anyone know who are the people who were involved in the accident?
to all those negative comment. i believe most of you just read it on new but u all were not there to see and as a matter of fact, have any one of you never had an accident? No that’s if u all have licence. So i believe u need to shut your flappers.
When are people as you going to allow others the right to comment without dictating to them. Do you not do the same?
we all are drivers but we must take our time.if someone was passing now what would have happened? jesus
But where the love nah Dominicans? None of all you eh wishing the victim a good recovery?
I hope the victims have a steady recovery and thank GOD that it was not worst.
i remember in the years gone by traveling on these huge truck with tailbud and wooden seats the road being very small and was never being scared ,the drivers before consider people`s lives the only thing i did not like was the gas smell it would make me vomit a lot.but now u have smaller vehicle larger roads and every minute is an accident.my goodness .
You trying to make sense but the fact is larger,smoother roads with less holes with fellars that have faster vehicles calls for more accidents.
The time you talking about roads were not as smooth and were more dangerous than now so man had to take there time and there vehicles had less hp (horse power)
for example it had less accident 4 yrs ago with the bad roads than now with the better roads that don’t mean there were better drivers 4 yrs ago
but i will not give you a thumbs down cause you kinda making sense
BUT!!! WE DID NOT HAVE MANY VEHICLES OR YOUNG DRIVERS.
So sorry to hear that. Of course, the ambulance service reponded in the appropriate manner. When lives are at stake every second counts and I can’t understand people who would take issue with that. Clear the road, be helpful and don’t second-guess. That has priority over anything else.!!
At last I read a comment that makes sense. The fire service showed up not long after the accident happened. There was no ambulance available and they wasted no time securing the gentleman and transporting him in the fire truck. Anything to save a life. The fire service personnel needs to be commended on a job well done as they do most times. We Dominicans love to complain about everything. The fire service takes time to show up. We complain. They drive speedily to the scene of an accident. We complain. Jeez!
I dont understand. Where is the “Ambulance” talk coming from? Registration PR is private. Allu know something that I have not read?
I’M HAPPY THAT HE IS ALIVE
Seriously that ambulance must pick up somebody one day ehh! And at the speed it driving gentle wrest that will come for di person. One time that past me with one speed and on the street I was walking didn’t have no side walk nearly destroy my ears *Wind*….
its supposed to go fast….yield to the ambulance
i thought supt.Alexander said the police was trained in scenes of crimes and to deal with grathering evidence look at so many people at the scene of the accident even touching thee vehicle involved oh what a mess.
the firemen knew what they were doin not the police
so u want d ambulance driver to drive slow slow slow and when d person have time die big mouths like u will run all u mouth
seriously…if u dont have any thing good to say, Dont say Nothing at all. Some people always want to be negative. Not being rude but some people need to really grow up and make a change. Say something nice. An accident is not the worst. And BTW, you may never know who’s going to die first. Maybe its you. IDk. Just saying.
When the Yong man died under the cliff on the bike the ambulance took to long. Now your is that the ambulance is to fast. How do you please some of you Dominicans. Now. Come to the US and obstruct the emergency vehicles and after you get injured you will know what charges you will face. Every day on this site Dominicans just keep trying to show the world the number of idiots we have.
wer wer wer, allu pple blind in de hot sun there… in big day time much less for the night time.
What’s so disrespectful about that? Is your family
awa wi fedge
awa wi fedge what? stupes
DNO, can you give these people the proper decency and not post their license plate numbers.
It’s disrespectful.
But when vehicles get involed in accidents it is said on the news
But that’s the first piece of information that comes on in the police reports
disrespectful? i don’t get it media expert. how come everybody in Dominica is an expert on what should and should not be included in a news story?
Some of them do this all the time. Who are they to dictate to DNO? It appears they have not changed and never will.
people need to know, it should not be hidden.. for obvious reasons
Stop mixing oranges and apples there is time for the reporting of the news especially in the present time we now live to be delivered and for some of us to cite every trival case as in this one “A Simple report of an accident which we have become so familier with these days, crying foul over the identification of a vehicle`s license plate is laughable,reading this blog from north America.What should have been reported? EG: An accendent occured at such and such location and the vehicle involved is unidentifiable!No place for political correctness.Just call it what it is, if not some one will.
The points are invalid.
If there is an accident in the US, sensitive information isn’t told to the public without their consent. It’s decency and its proper journalism.
This nonsense about everyone should know all the details is just idiotic. You don’t have to know everyone’s information all the time. Worry about yourself. You read the news to find out there was an accident; you don’t read the news to find out there was an accident and — was involved and — is there information. That’s backward.
And to be honest, this post is just here to give the site an update. There isn’t enough news in Dominica, so we have to fill our time with updates on accidents that happen all the time.
And to the comment about the police reports, reread what you wrote. It is the first information that comes on the police report for a government employee to access. They don’t just post the reports on a bulletin board.
Is it not so that all vehicles are obliged to have their registration number clearly visible for all to see when on the public road?
The registration plate identification is for government officials to use (police officers). It’s not for communal identification.
If it is your pawhen who was the one involved in the accident, the publishing of the plate # would alert you so that you could go and look out for him.
Incorrect. If your parents are involved in the accident, the officers on scene are obliged to contact you with all necessary information.
I LIKE HOW DNO PUTTIN NEWS FAST…GOOD WORK..LOL
So many accident in DA lately whats going on, are people not taking their time to drive??
People “Arrive alive” should be your motto.
new roads that we not accustom to that causing that
i hope the injured one makes it
dominicans doing like its first time they c road. those drivers driving like they r on the parkway. wat burns me is that they cannot even drive. wen u r so fast in that lil road there is lil time to react. so take allu time. allu have to take work at 8 but u leaving urhouse at 7:45 rushing to get there. dominicans need to do better than that. I have realized that the road is not the problem but the mentality of the poor drivers.
You all just say what allu want. As per an eyewitness, the guy was driving normal as ever and then his tyre just burst and that what caused him to run in the wall.
That’s another thing. Why are we importing other countries cast offs such as used tires? It is because they no longer meet saftety criteria why they reject them and ship them to places like Dominica, lumbering us with their waste at the same time .Who are the smart ones? On items like that, which are crucial for road safety there should be no import duty payable so there is no excuse for driving with bad, defect tires.
ohoh …again take it easy on di road pple
smh
be more careful
DNO doesnt play yeh boy. fast boy
dia they strong
I knew some thing was fishy the ambulance nearly ran me over
they should move more faster
You need to put your *** on the side walk next time and respect emergency vehicles!!! I am sure you were talking your time and stroll across the road, if it was a cow or a dog you would have ran!!!
Is true. They need to start charging them for not giving emergency vehicles room to pass.
UR DAM WRIGHT!!!
@the1 – ur so funny. what is fishy about an ambulance moving faster than usual either someone is sick ot there is an accident,
Amen brother. Isn’t that what ambulances are for and why they have sirens and flashing light? …Is not to get a quick take-away meal at KFC or Pizza Hut you know!
lmao at fishy
Good kixxx on DNO this afternoon!!
lol!! the ambulance nearly run over. lol!!
bet u was texting and not hearing the siren
first off I hope that the person/persons r ok… but @ the1 dwl stroll still when u see ambulance comin to run u over…lmao…@hmm and simply blessed, I cannot understand dat…lmao
n those that gave him/her thumbs up more’teberer’…stupesss lol
because an accident happened or somebody dying does not give ambulance right to knock me down and cause another accident. all u just too tehbeh to see that
You should always be alert for drivers and especially the ambulance. When you hear/see one approaching, your first reaction should be is to clear the way.
If the ambulance does not have a siren, one should be installed for emergency reasons. Therefore when other drivers and pedestrians hear the siren they must take note, apply common sense and immediately clear steer clear from the path of the ambulance. Drivers should immediately stop for the ambulance to pass. This is consideration and road courtesy. There should be no criticism and question about that. Always place yourself in the ambulance driver’s position, responding to an emergency, a sick person or probably an accident where people are injured. Someone’s life may be at stake. Surely you should not have to be told or reminded about that.
They would be doing the country a service taking you out with that kind of attitude. They have sirens and strobes for a reason. Its so that idiots like you can see and hear them and get out of the way.
The sirens can be heard wayyyyy before you see the ambulance or fire service vehicle. Get your butt off the road as soon as you hear it. Dumb people.
