The police have identified the two men who were involved in a bike accident in Mahaut on Wednesday.
They are St. Joseph residents Ger Stedman and Jimmie Louis.

The Subaru was being driven by Casani Laville of Mahaut.
Both Stedman and Louis, who was the pinion rider, are now patients at the Princess Margaret Hospital.

Let me say this, Dno that wasn’t nice the way u have my cuz pic up like that cause when other people have accident u does blur there faces out so y cant u do the same that’s not nice at all. and for the person that say thee motorbike doe have a seat tebeh u doe seeing thee seat under the guy foot. Dno all u lucky is not america all u be ehh cause trust me that whole website shutting down one time thee kind of lawsuit all u was getting. people asking for you to blur thee picture or take it down but u refuse ehh hmmm.Cuz gerty i hope u feel better get well soon….it doe look like they know who ur brother is.
ADMIN: Foolishness. We blur faces only when the victims are dead. They do the same thing in America. Some newspapers in America don’t even blur the faces of the victims even when they are dead. So saying about America and lawsuit is a whole bunch of foolishness.
i wonder if the motocyclist know about motocycle safety, road rules, and proper riding , are they licenced to ride a motocycle on a public road, are they insured, is the bike registered , licensed and road worthy. So many questions…Sorry this happenned to them, sorry too for the driver of the car that hit them, that must weigh on their mind and heart Be careful out there people!
umm DNO… maybe something called a disclaimer should be put in place before people click

DNO why? we can do without the graphic pictures, shame on you. Take the family into consideration.
That’s called news my friend, news. Get up to speed with it and get out of the box you are living in.
actually, if you look in the mirror you WILL see the box
wether all you like it or not there will be speed bumps better known as sleeping policemen in mahaut.
for you all information the markings are there already. i do not know for massacre. some of our drivers are careless when using the road they alway speeding for wat i do not know.
26 years mister lloking more like 30 stupes. awa ya dominica need to enforce some laws man
I think Dominica need three things:
Mandated driver education and improvement courses
Traffic Safety laws (speed limits, point system, etc)
Safely constructed roads and highways (signs, traffic lights, radar speed detection, patrol cops, etc)
I strongly agree with you on these points. I do believe they will eventually come, its inevitable.
May god bless ur cuzzin im srry to hear that ur cuzzin get her head craked in a bike accident im cryin all now
… Bumps should help solve the speeding problem.. .
Images are way too graphic.I would like to make some voluntary suggestions to the bikers. I am very glad that you all are still alive.However, had you all been wearing protected clothings such as leathers gloves and helmets those my friends saves a purpose as could drive down casualties.
Its about time a law is introduce in Dominica for all you bikers to follow as a top priority to wearing protective wear.
Instead of all the bickering and whats not..I believe the most important is that we simply pray for their families, the driver of the car, and especially the two young men in the hospital for a full recovery on all aspects of life.
where are the Helmets? that should be law in DA
Praise God no one lost their lives. Jimmy…don’t go on me just saw you the other day
you Dominicans need to act better than that,its still the 16 year old boy here.
another one in mahaut again ..lord plz be with jimmy an his family
first of all those a my soldierz. may jah bless both of u to a speedy recovery.
WHERE IS THE MAHAUT, MASSACRE BYPASS. WHAT DO U EXPECT WHEN THEY PUT NEW ROAD IN THERE
brothers in dominica do not respect motor bikes,motor bikes does give you a rush,that’s what these man them do not check out,because is one thing to like to feel that bike power underneath you,but you have to remember,if you flash like lighting,you will crash like thunder,i hope they learn and pray in their painfull recovery,all the best brothers.
But that Casani fella there self always driving fast. Is so he almost knock us while trying to pull back from a risky overtake near that sports place at Rockaway there. Careless or frightened, I don’t know
i hope all u seeing what happing i my contry were
helmets so that u guys can be safe and seat belts to ok ?
so dem man just putting man face on internet like dat, without contacting family members.
yah
I am praying for you.
i know they named the road a “HIGHWAY” but when it comes to mahaut that highway bit must be omitted. mahaut barely have road for us to walk. people need to be really careful on that road. motorists, especially motorcyclists have to slow right down. we have so many little side streets coming onto the main road. if you speeding anything can happen. and in mahaut especially, things happen fast and easy
I was fine just seeing the picture of the bike. I could have done without seeing the helpless guys on the ground. I do support all those who said the picture was tasteless. Some of you must remember not everyone has the stomach to view such graphic pictures. I am one of them. I wish them good luck and a speedy recovery.
well dont watch it
You’re correct. Dominicans speak on both sides of their mouth. Just wait till is one of their people brains plastered all over the news for people to see with no dignity or sense of regard. All of them say”wish him the best”, yet it brings them great joy to see someone in such distress. Ughgghhh. I can’t stand people
It brings them great joy ? what is your problem? smh
Government must band motorcycles in Dominica?? What foolishness that?? Well they must band vehicles too because there are reckless drivers, band bicycles because people crash on them, band legs too because they cross, bounce etc and throw people down!! Idiots!!
You are uneducated….. Banned bikes, vehicles, etc…
Anonymous, education has nothing to do with that, get some common sense.
non of allu kno what happen allu just sayin they was this and was that bt really they were not wrong the car was wrong an u kno the real problem is tthe busses of mahaut who have no respect for the road an to who say they should band motobike in dominica your a real d.a
If u say the car was wrong. Then you are wrong. Witnesses say the bike was wrong. He was speeding plus he hit the car on the car’s lane. This comment shows me that you are surely not a witness and very misinformed.
A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS!!
I don’t see why people are getting upset over the pictures posted. Telling someone what are the consequences of riding without a helmet and they actually seeing what may occur as a result, are two different things. Sometimes a little shock is needed to make a point. Maybe someone seeing the pic’s will decided, from now on when I go riding i’ll put on my helmet.
completly agrre wit u.. good pics dno.. sendin more direct message
and the point of showing that young woman’s body in a package at the airport was….?
many of these young men drive reckless, they seem not to be concerned about themselved or the lives of others, i hope they will be ok and be more careful the next time.times are hard but life is sweet , embrace life and safety
it’s a time for grieving and praying stop talking about what the government should and shouldn’t do.
Firt of all they were not speeding, they were hit by a car dam get you all facts straight. I know they were suppose to have protective gear
How can they be hit by a car that just come of an intersection onto a main road? Just finished straightening up in the road and the next thing he heard was the bike hitting the vehicle. They need to find the vehicle that was parked on the side the bike was supposed to be that caused him to swerve into the car lane and hit him under all that speed. Get your facts straight to before u run your mouth.
You’re wrong they were speeding. And they hit the car.
So sad, I’m feeling sorry for him, but by the same time, the government need to band motorcycles in Dominica…
listen to yourself? really!? smh.
band car and bus to na..lol
Really?
noon of allu know what realy happen so stop talking why don’t you banded your mouth from talking jennifer
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but – you’re an idiot. Ban motorcycles in Dominica? why? because using them can lead to injury if improperly used? really?…hmmmm – let’s see what else, if used improperly, can lead to injury….a car? sugar? salt? fig? – if you eat it wrong you can choke, and that’s not good…should I go on? go read a book and stop making a fool of yourself
what a foolish comment u must be a bike hater why dont they band your comment
really? you make no sense
are u listening to yourself. i am a woman am not a rider and i do not like riding at the back of a motorbike.that does’nt mean because there are accidents motorcycle should be band. when that is done and implemented who is going to pay for all these bikes in dominica. jenny the government cannot under no circumstances band motor bikes in this country. so you telling me that all the motor vehicle accidents that is happening here they must also be band eh
@ jennifer
It is silly to even think of this. The government is not in a position to ban motorcycles. It is a vehicle. Drivers of any sort of vehicle must drive cautiously. They take too many chances, thinking that they will never get into an accident. They must drive on their side of the road, yielding to traffic/drivers who have right of way and looking left and right when turning. Too many are negligent.
What the government can do is to make it mandatory to wear safety helmets.
I am a bit disappointed by the media and how photos of victims are publicize. Yes we need to know what is taking place at home but there is absolutely NO respect for the families as to what can and cannot be publicize.
Jimmy I pray that you and your friend be okay. I know that my Aunt and family is not at ease at this point but with prayers everything will be alright.
Safety first is safety always. There need to be traffic laws on the land as well as the use of proper gears for cyclist, seat belts when needed because safety is not just a slogan it is a way of life.
fristly,am a picture-take-outer, dominicans believes and comment on everything and anything before analizing the situation.most of the comments a just out of place and make no sence.alyou not seeing that this was put on DMO to make a sencus on how dominicans think and react.
let look at the picture and discribe it 1)two diferent pictures, two diferent site check the back ground! 2) you ever see an acident in any part of the world especial in dominica where a picture is taken and it do have spectators, or medical attendence on one soul but just the shadow of the photographer, not even a police by the bike. 3) the men lieing on the ground in an acident and both of them thier shose of thier feet who move it the impact and it unlace!papa frist time i see that. 4)that picture-take-outer had to be frist on the scine (seen) to have capture that freesh blood.
secoundly am a paramidic. in my many yers of sevice in a bike acident there is noway that the riders or passer-bys are in the same sport, it’s not a car , train ,or bus it’s a bike even with predestireans.blood not red it’s dack so tel the actors use mocreocumb in sted of paint, thats what we use when we do our decemilation programmes.
you all ever see a news report like that posted on DMO before! police investigating an accident., and thats that , no direction where the bike was heading too, or coming from, registration #, persons involve in accident, time of accident,they themself on the seen. no other media report that accident. today is not april 1st it’s not april fools day.it’s huricane season june 1st. and people look before you all leap.
yow! u need a course in spelling!
Mahaut should have bypass. Now we paying for that short cut with lives. Just waiting for disaster with one of them fuel trucks passing through that congested village every day. Guess $27 million presidential palace more important.
they need to put law on wearing helmets
well to say the truth am glad to see the picture, if it was me i would have liked someone to at least cover my face.hey and drivers, bikers, flyers take it easy in the villages man. break it down
So how we will know is you nah padna LOL
I agree with you on that point though. We drivers must make an effort to DRIVE 15MPH TROUGH MAHAUT AND MASSACRE in particular. These two villages have the most narrow roads with hardly any sidewalk in most areas.
The people NEED TO WALK ON THE ROAD TO GET TO WHERE THEY NEED TO GET TO. THEY HAVE TO LIVE IN THESE VILLAGES. THEY LIVE IN THE VILLAGES
We need to stop being so INSENSITIVE.
We need to start being more CONCIOUS
We need to be more concerned for others welll being.
Every PERSON is a HUMAN BEING
WE ARE ALL THE SAME
STOP DRIVING THROUGH MASSACRE AND MAHAUT SO FAST
STOP DRIVING THROUGH MASSACRE AND MAHAUT SO FAST
STOP DRIVING TRHOUGH MASSACRE AND MAHAUT SO FAST
Where there is love there is Life’
my brother is a biker too and i am putting myself in the family’s shoes.it’s not a good news at all, but i see nothing wrong in the pics, and how do we know that dno did not have permission to put it there before family saw it?i guess family knew man.i pray that all is well with both fellas.i do not know them but they are humans like us.so some of you with the bad comments, have a heart man
well.. French man said that they tired of DA fellas coming and thiefing their bikes and running back down DA.They said they gonna start sending them and die…. so….maybe that bike is one of them. or just maybe their stupidity with their speeding, racing, unprotected etc etc… hope they learn a lesson. And why pple want to dread DNO for showing the pics……. no problem with that. DNo.. great job
man you have no heart are you really human im only 16 and i feel alot for that family so stop ur stupidity come on i go to sda.
I work in Mahaut and i think that unless this road issue is not settled alot of lives will be endangered. I think that there are areas where pedestrian crossing is needed especially that spot where the incident happen. Speed humps are also required, speed limit sign should be posted up. Motorist please take precaution (slow down)when passing to Mahaut. It really scare me having to cross this road every day. Blackmoore please do something we are left with too many regrets.
QUE DIEU VOUS BENISE
correction. HAUNTED
before you all toke dat pic,you could have helped…………..just hope and pray i get my fone fast when it your turn ……………and you need help……..
let pray for jimmy and grut……….
The government needs to band motorbikes on the streets of Dominica. These guys have no respect for pedestrians and other people.They are always speeding and racing on the road, putting everyone’s lives in danger. They misuse the new roads and most of them act like they hunted.
u know what u saying friend??
chupes well start walking because the bus drivers and all the other drivers a lot of them no different. You want the PM to stop them too. Not every time a bike is involved in an accident to lash at bikers they not always wrong.
THEM GUYS WERE HIT BY A VEHICLE THAT WAS ABOUT TO OVERTAKE!! WE WE SAFELY IN DER SIDE OF THE STREET! MOTORBIKES SHOULDNT BE BANNED……HELMETS NEED TO BE ENFORCED MORE
You are mistaken massive. I was in mahaut and saw the whole thing. The guys were speeding. The forester was on the correct side of the road and those guys hit the forester trying to get on the other side of the road.
i disagree wit u on dis cuz buses,cars,jeeps dem all get into accidents not jus cuz its a motor-bike…all am sayin is dem should pass a law that all bikers wear a helmet at all times,bt dont barn dem 4 riding…everybody as somethin dey love and if riding dere bike makes dem happy and dere way of trnsportation u cant jus take dat away from dem jus cuz some accident.
A number of concerned People in the St Paul Parish are planning a MotorBike Day carded for Saturday, January 26, 2013. This an effort to sensitize one and all. the theme for this undertaking is “One Death is One too Many!” Among the collaborators is The Dominica Social Justice and Peace Committee Inc.
sorry for the accident hope them other bikers learn something from that
DNO…the least you can do is blurr the guys face. geez i thought this type of publishing was only done when andrew owned this news agency. I guess I expected more from the new owners! That’s disrespectful!
accidents are not secrets, use ur head, maybe u have a secret reason that is why u saying that,he might have relatives u don’t know about and when they see his face they will assist each other, think wisely people
You are proud to be a complete and utter moron! This has nothing to do with asking DNO to make the story secret. Can you read and comprehend? I don’t have any problems viewing the images and frankly it doesn’t bother my stomach one bit. My issue is with showing the persons face whilst they are in pain Or other vulnerable positions. If you say it’s okay for them to show injured motorcyclists to teach others then you’re also playing them showing other people in such a state without any concern for how their families feel. You wicked Dominicans are such hypocritical human beings who go to church yet still want to encourage actions that are wrong. I waiting for one of all you to do this to my family. Unlike these people I have the resources and means to make sure all you pay!
I agree
they did not have enough speed yet the too sot on that road.
alas hope thy will be ok lets pray 4 dem, especially jimmy. i saw them this morning
It is disrespectful of the victims that the media houses, including DNO, are publishing graphic photos of accident victims. Your stories are informative but please show some more consideration. Victims are humans. Not news articles.
tell cnn and all the other news networks to stop showing their vids of wats happening in the middle east …come on dont be foolish
Yeah they show the middle east but see how they refrain from showing Their own injured people who die on American roads. Try that crap in the states and the victim or their family will bring your behind to court and they’ll win. They’ll never show their face. You all just think you can do whatever you want to people in the name ofI news and entertainment.
Shut up…if u are not interested dont look.
Shut up…if u are not interested dont look.
dno have their people whom they give their own “wespayament”, this is total disrespect to the victims and their families. I believe that an apology is in order. MAN UP. DNO
I agree with you if it was there family member they would not want that pic on DNO
Are you sure of that, well if that was so, They would have had DNO remove the photo ASAP. Don’t speak for the family if you are not related, I don’t think they asked for a spokesperson. All you too damn quick and out of place. Nothing wrong in sending a serious message across.
i dont want to be the one to get upset but this is !!! this bike thing has gone on too long now in the community of mahaut time for people to get there damn act straight. i hope these men are alright but at the rate certain persons drive i think an accident is more than welcome into their lives. i just lost a friend to a bike accident in mahaut…im not willing to hear about another death! they better just tell allu black man to drive allu motobike but when alu reach mahaut get off it and wheel it to jimmit!!!!!
i agree i lost my cousin to this speeding bikes through mahaut. no one can bring him back, and was taken due to foolishness. i’m not saying you cant ride your bike fast, i woudl too but i mean there is a speed limit in villages RESPECT IT!!! everyone knows ppl are always on the road in mahaut, if it was for the forester who knows what the biker could’ve hit. the ppl in the forester are my friends the bikers are someoen else’s come on ppl try and take it easy int he villages especially mahaut. we all know that as soon as you enter mahaut its a straight stretch its practically a high way. be more careful, who’s son, cousing or friend are we gonna lose next> take it easy
Is that the teacher in Mahaut school brother?
Dominica is just a lawless land and when it comes to obeying traffic laws; it is just a joke the way people disregard the traffic laws. Riders do what they want, no one stops them. It almost seem like one has to have a degree in stupidity to drive a bus (my apology to the bus drivers who use their common sense). Bus drivers cut people off on the road (afraid that they are going to miss that dollar,but they seem not wise enough to realize that in so doing they may have to spend that same dollars to see to accident related issues), they stop at the most inconvinient areas to let off passengers (at the brow of the constitution hill), blare their music irregardless of the lyrics or who is on the bus (youth or senior citizens). Some individuals seem to think that the more they drink the better they drive-putting their lives and that of other innocent drivers in jeapordy. I often wonder why they employ all these police. People rarely get tickets, Policemen just stroll, and socialize(using their phones or otherwise) when on beat. It appears that policemen are not aware that they are professionals: I was cut off right next to the police station by a policeman in uniform driving a police vehicle when I had the right of way. He just decided that he was a police and so was not obliged to stop at the stop sign. My comment then was wow! no wonder there is little to no respect for police in society. A lot of accidents can be avioded if things are put in place to ensure that we all respect the laws whether they be traffic or other laws. If the cats are away, why not play. We are all aware that emancipation is a mere illusion to many. If “massa” is not their with the whip, why perform at all. As drivers, Let us try to be each other’s keeper in order to reduce the number of accidents on the road.
thnx for the comment you are so on point with that comment they need them to be on the road looking for crazy drivers the bus driver some drive so crazy you dont want to get on the bus and when you say something first people drive like in our countries too
the 1 in yellow must look like he dead cause after all that blood and resting on the ground in hot sun while the viewers take pics, he should be rushed to the hospital. SMFH
learn to wear helmet and stop overtaking anywhere on the road may the lord be with you gurt. hope your brother is aware of what have just occurred.
DNO, Thanks for the news. The photo of the bike is ok, but the photo of the man who looked like he was motionless, was tasteless. Please have some respect for victims. There is a fine line, the photo was awful and insensitive.
oh gosh! why did they put this pic now, with this man lying helplessly? (African accent)
I’m sorry oh
Viewar Discreshon is advised
hey people life shortso take it easy on the road….hope those guys recover soon…and people stop hating on bikers
At least !dat is one person I can agree with. Vehicle drivers and bike riders do pay license and insurance , so please Dominicans give bikers a break!! Most of d f in time is vehicle drivers day have there flipping faults. So stop blaming bikers!!!!!!!stupes
DNO…update us please!
Again…i sympathize with the families and feel sorry for the victims…but….bourdieu..when will these guys learn to wear protective gear, look at d guy in a little vest and no helmet, he doh must pliche…stupes……and is d way they ride that sickens me the most..stupes again
sigh… one thing is really pray alone we can pray eh…
wowwww why would you put somebody’s body on the internet like that. Insensitive.
The man is not dead nor is he dying…thus it cannot be considered a body..
Also Marpin News had Charles Maynard’s body in the coffin at his funeral at 8 o clock news..call them up too nuh
So sad to see two young people seriously hurt again. No sign of crash helmets or other protective gear. When are the police going to enforce the regulations we have in place, for the good of the reckless bikers themselves? I sure hope they are insured and will eventually recover.
These riders drove pass me on the road this afternoon.I had a small helmet on. I commented to my passenger look at the speed he was doing.. They are not learning. All DRIVERS CARS,TRUCK, HGV NEED TO CONTROL THEIR SPEED.. I have not seen them doing wheelies lately!!!!
bike riders be careful on the road.
wat happen na.. mahaut road have jumbie man that bike accidents taking place like that. the mahaut ppl self need to keep off the road when they see/hear vehicle/bikes coming.
they walkin on they road like its theirs, so sometimes when a vehicle/bike try to avoid them.. it ending up in a accident
drive with caution when all you driving through the village is that
There was already an accident not to long ago and now this one. Yet they still dosen’t learn. If you cannot ride good on the road don’t do it. My regards going out to the farmilies of those involved in the accident.
Another tasteless photo from DNO
Goodluck hommies… hope it ends well….
take it easy ..all u riding to fast in d village all no is a little road that there
see what bike doing young men. Use helmet god damn it
DNO showing these pictures is in BAD taste! Fix up!!
Alas poor boy .
hey dats his smaller sis nd he is my best bigger bro……..thanks to all the ppl who would care nd kno him nd write good things bout him nd does who wrote wat i didnt like u would nt like ppl 2 do u dat so plz but god be with u guys.
hey…..I really hope ur bro is ok. He’s in my heart.I will pray for Him.
o o.m.g i just passed my cuz jimmyon my wayto town then hearin this news just shocked me.
My comment may not see the light of day, since it’s to chastise DNO but this is in rather poor taste!
I find this dehumanizing, downright disrespectful and shameless of DNO to post these pics of the victims. Are you all even sure the people family have been noticed. When did this become ok, don’t they have a right to some decency?
u all need to stop driving so fast on them small piece of roads u all have that are full of potholes i hate visiting Dominica for that simple reason to many accidents slow down people Dominicans are nice people we are loosing to many of them
dats my bro…. u all could atleast blur da face… jimmmy god i pray nuttin doe happen 2 u… God will protect u
thanx DNO. this is my close cuz we. thank u for informing me what happen cause i had no idea. just doing my regular visit and come across this heartbreaking news. i’m going to the pmh now
That’s exactly why I support DNO for showing the pics.
I hope they make it, best of luck to them.
For people that bashing DNO on the pics; this is nonesense man. This is the 21st century. We are in a time of high technology. If people present on the scene is able to see it, why people who are looking behind the lens of a camera should not be able to see it too?
It happen already. None of us looking at the scene can change anything about it. As long as something is out in the public and other people are seeing it, then everyone should have the right to see it too.
Once again, best of luck and speedy recovery to the victims.
they looking at dna but how many people put that on twitter, facebook and all the other site. those ppl who have problems with the pic put your shades on or though watch it. dno doh worry with these foolish uneducated ppl. yes i feel for the family but on the other hand that is one way we will be able to identify the ppl involve so when jack see it he can say mary i see your brother on dno and there was an accident.
gurt& jimy my boys save them lord
hope all is okay..jimmy u will be ok..GOD is good…gurt i pray the lord be with u also
DNO, any update?
I heard that 1 guy passed away. If true – R.I.P and other riders, drivers, pedestrians – PLEASE BE CAREFUL!
all u jus like 2 say wat all want nobody doe die…all u need 2 get all u information good be4 all u go and broadcast it 2 the public…da jus like 2 spread wrong information!
you all jus like 2 say wat all u want nobody doe die ..i dont knw y dominicans doesnt get the information straight be4 dem start 2 broadcast the wrong information straight!
MR.BLACKMOORE TRY YOUR BEST TO GET THESE SLEEPING POLICE MEN (HUMP) ON THE ROAD IN MAHAUT. THE KEEP CLEAR JUST GIVE THESE DRIVER TO GO CRAZY SO HURRY UP WITH THAT. WE THOUGH WANT DEATH REPEATING IT SELF IN MAHAUT ON BIKES , TRUCKS, CARS, JEEP, ETC.
What will happen, speed bumps on the entire west coast road??!! Some people actually have busy lives and need to get to where they are going. The answer or solution is not speed bumps. There is a clear difference in speeding and driving recklessly. A lot of these people are driving recklessly and with no discretion. A bit of driving common sense and general etiquette would immediately assist. As soon as Mahaut has the speed bumps they will race in massacre.
wat are you talking about did you read the comment properly what jojo said eh. It is written in mahaut the village. nothing was said about the west coast. sflo in da you too sort. as a matter of fact the sleeping policemen are needed because when drivers like yourself and I are approaching the villages of mahaut and massacre we will automatically start slowing down on our peddles
Well said! Its true…stupes i doh want no speed bump in mahaut…and i from mahaut..people just need to stop driving like they doh have brains!
with regards to the beginning of your comment…….. who sleeping more? The policemen? What do you want them to do…. go pull-up on the roadside all day to guard our nuisances who go out, thief bikes and still speed on them….. no!! they got better to do. Well, u… be a good citizen and go do the job they not doing. Fool!!!
let me inform you that sleeping policemen are not the real policemen they are “THE HUMP” growing up it was call that way. SORRY YOU MISUNDERSTOOD but jojo did write sleeping policemen and hump in bracket.
de 1 in yellow looks dead .i hope he’s okay
You just said he looks dead but you hope he’s ok. Smh.
omg.the one in yellow looks dead lord please make him be okay
hey people whats wrong with you? The guy is in blood and probably suffering and you just picture him with yours blackberries as a piece of meat…sometimes you Dominicans provoke vomiting reflexes…
I am not endorsing the pictures but why every time someone does something you guys always talk about Dominicans as if they are the worst!!! That’s slavery mentality man… Where do you live man??? People take pictures of crazy stuff every day. Anyway hope that they are ok!!!
well think man maybe he is somebody’s brother, son or father..think carefully. People do a lot of crazy stuff everyday without stopping for a minute: wtf, its a disrespect for the guy, his family etc..living without thinking and choosing not to think is the slavery mentality!
Obviously ever one wants to see, To understand the circumstances of the accident. When they tho post pictures people vex when they do people vex wtf wrong with yall? And what you want else can they do, if your not a paramedic you arn’t suppose to touch the individual..
yow gerty, praying 4 u guys.god is in control all the time. :
how would you have known what happened and the exent of the injury…..to warn others who are tempted to speed through our village…if no pic was posted/…… you watched didn’t you… as I doubt you were on the scene….
Thats what reporting is about
DNO could at least blur out the face. For respect of the family members
this is new.. sooner or later you will find out who the people is…. so why should they blur out t he faces…?
D –ss would you like to be on international media if you were in this condition God forbide???? hmmm ???
DNO should show some common sense concerning the pictures.
THIS IS A MESSAGE GOING OUT TO ALL THE BIKERS IN DOMINICA. YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ON THE ROAD. PLEASE PROTECT YOURSELVES WITH THE BIKE GEARS LIKE HELMET , KNEE PADS,ETC. THERE IS A BUSINESS PLACE OPPOSITE WILSON’S SUPERMARKET WITH ALL THE GEARS ONE NEEDS FOR RIDING SO CHECK THEM OUT.
TO THE GOVERNMENT AND TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT PLEASE INSIST THAT THE BIKERS LIKE ALL ROAD USERS KEEP TO THE LAW AND INSIST THAT THESE GEARS MUST AND IS COMPULSORY WHEN USING THE ROADS. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT ALL BIKER WITHOUT THIS GEARS SHOULD BE PENALISE AND FINE. THANK YOU

jimmy from sen joe dat der for real man?
yes wi..fresh
Who can force them to wear helmets if they don’t want to wear helmet. The police can do what they want, some people can be very stubborn.
If they give them a ticket for not wearing a helmet, might work for some of them. But in other for that to work full time, the police always have to be on the look out for that. People have to just excercise more caution on the road.
Well as long as these riders continue to believe they are supermen then those things are bound to happen.We need to improve our traffic patrols along that stretch of road from Roseau to Portsmouth.Every police vehicle that is parked at a police station on the west and east coast must be seen patroling the streets and enforcing traffic laws at all times. Riders please wear helmet and other protective gear.Drivers please use your seat belts.
every body is omg have you all see that the rest of that bike is missing as a rider myself and a woman i do ride without helmet sometimes only on a short run but the bike doh even have seat and many more items are missing them men in d/a need to be careful and take it eazy and the speed they does pass u is like they running fr something sorry to see you like that on the street but be careful
im excuse me smarty pants if the bike didnt have seats and hw much parts missin hw the hell were dey seatin hw dey get it on the road u not seeing the bike parts fly…i wonder if some of all u does read wat all u does write!

I pray that they survive this,they need to be careful on the road,and I agree please enforce helmets for bikers.
***Helmet… let’s where them!!
I will not be surprise if no HELMET was worn!! when it come to auto safety, we seem to hate all things that can help keep us safer!!
I hope all injured a speedy recovery!!
Have you ever seen our police wear safety belts??
no no no DNO you should have waited before you pu up the persons face. What if his family doesnt know he was in an accident as yet?
dats wat happens we there is no protective gear on
hope they ok
Omg the one in yellow looks dead.pray that he will be ok .
Its unbelievable the DNO puts up these graffic photos, what if there’s a family member does not know that a member was in an accident or is dead?? so insensitive. Great reporting, but know need to be so graffic
graphic images… not ” graffic”
STUPESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!SMMFH i dont see anything wrong ……
i wish it was you that was lying down there to see what is wrong
Me neither.
for a dominican abroad, your spelling is horrific
Simply blessed, just correct the person spelling like laparwol, so they will learn, don’t say it like that. Dominican abroad is just in a state of shock man. LOL.
That’s a silly comment if ever I heard one. How is being abroad make for a good speller?
Graphic pictures needs to be shown to show careless biker what happens when they are being careless…..A lesson to be learnt here.
OMG DNO that’s my cousin on the ground. What a messed up way to find out!
THE SPEED SOME OF THEASE GUYS GOING HELMET CANNOT HELP THEM
omg thats my cuz right there .i hope that everything is ok .you people have to take it easy on the road.
I think the.law needs to be stricken wen it. Come. To these things. Especially speed limits and safty gears. God help these young men
may god be with them!!!!
Mahaut Again omg
DNO thanks but no thanks dont like that graphic pic.To the government i say impose the law helments please, and also driving while intocicated, weed,alcohol and any substance that ulters the mind. Government of DA do something love your people…….
In this case, the graphic picture will hopefully put a picture in those careless bikers mind and help prevent further senseless accidents.
