    I have known this same Goddard Williams in Marigot for many, many, many years and based on my knowledge of him, I am convinced he is from Marigot. Don’t know why DNO or police department have him from Loubiere. Guess they themselves are drunk as well.
    Speedy recovery to all involved.

    I saw those vehicles shortly after the accident. It seems alcohol was a factor on both sides, in a country where there is zero enforcement against drinking and driving.

    I myself i am sick and tired of hearing of accident after accident. What is it, you people cannot learn? I really hope i hear this time that this was a freak accident, and not some silly other reason like speeding, falling asleep or simply hogging the road.
