Fifty-two-year-old Hilroy Ambo of Salisbury has been identified as the man who died in a fatal accident on the Jimmit Public Road on Saturday November 12, 2011.
Police Spokesman Kenth Matthew has said that Ambo and Joseph Lavernier of Petite Soufriere were both passengers in a pickup driven by Leroy Williams of Salisbury, when it collided with a truck in the said area. The incident occurred at about 11:50 a.m.
At the time of the accident, Williams was driving in a northerly direction while Kertiste Baptiste of Jimmit drove the dump truck, in a southerly direction. Williams and Lavernier were both injured and taken to the hospital.
i believe that this man must have fallen asllep after spending all nights and all morning on the market rest in peace ambo
MY SYMPATHIES TO KENRICK AMBO AND THE OTHER AMBO’S AND ALSO TO THE FAMILY OF THE YOUNG MAN OF GLANVILLIA WHO DIED ALSO TONIGHT RIP SOULS RIP
It would be very nice to show a picture of the dead victim
to all those who disliked I am sure that Anonymous meant an identification pic not a pic of his lifeless body. smh
Are you stupid you inconsiderate bastard. Would you like them to parade your dead mom on the internet. let it be
To the family: May you find love, comfort and support in those around you during this difficult time. I know it is not easy, especially considering the way he died. I hope he had a chance to give his life to Christ. I am sure the driver is very sorry and at the same time will see this as a learning experience for him. Don’t judge or criticise anyone here. This is a very sad situation, one which I am sure the driver will never get over. Remember our God is one of comfort and He is in the midst of all our trials.
we need justice for these
Kertist Baptiste? ?????????? papa God
may his soul rest in peace

HILROY AMBO SWEETY HILROY AMBO THAT IS WHAT VICTIM MEANS.SORRY YOU DID NOT WEE IT
HILROY AMBO IS THE NAME SWEETY, HILROY AMBO
Now with the new road it takes me longer to drive to town . I am very scared the way people drive and I must be very carefull. Often now I have to stop to allow the driver coming from the oposite to finish overtaking.
I am deeply saddened that someone has lost a life in this accident. My heartfelt sympathy to the family.
It is rather embarrassing for those drivers. Traffic slows down and is held up; bad enough during rush hour. The stories are many.
Who is to be blamed for careless driving? DNO will keep us informed.
In Toronto, only tonight while coming in I noticed some drivers of cars will not allow pedestrians to cross the street even though they have right of way. They also squeeze their vehicles either in front of them or behind. They are always in a hurry. I certainly wished that a Police cruiser would happen to be around and notice them.
I thought I will telephone the Traffic Department again requesting that cameras be installed at that intersection. I had once done that and was told that the cameras are in certain areas of the City and from time to time they are moved to other locations. I bet there never was one at that busy, heavy traffic intersection. I had told the officer consider how much additional money the City would make if cameras were installed at that specific intersection. I heard that the City makes a lot of money at other intersections by issuing tickets which are mailed to drivers’ homes when they violate road regulations. Yet, some drivers will still disobey the Law. These lack road courtesy. Accidents, injuries and deaths have occurred in that area and other areas of the City, be it the fault of drivers or pedestrians.
On Saturday afternoon I was on my way to the store near where I reside. I saw a fellow West Indian lady standing alone, not at the area, at the lights where she was supposed to cross the street when the lights changed. I am always on the alert and pray that I will never get into an accident as I ask the Lord for protection and thank Him for keeping me safely. I went up to the lady and told her that she should not be standing there for when the lights turn and she commences walking, a vehicle could turn around the corner and will not see her and she could get hurt. I further informed her that if there is one person or more at the corner, then it could be safe for her to stand there and cross as soon as the lights change. I also told her this is what I do and so be careful. She thanked me.
Returning, I saw another fellow West Indian lady who said to me I heard what you stated to the lady and you are correct. I told her if I am able to offer good advice in anyway wherever I may be and at anytime I will do so. She said, “Praise the Lord”. This is a nice thing to do. She could get knocked down by traffic but she would have right the way. I replied, not where she was standing near a telephone pole and was not at the lights. Drivers would not have seen her when turning the corner if she tried to cross the street. I told her we are all each other’s keepers, one way or the other. I told her we are all each other’s keepers, one way or the other. However, some people cross the street without looking one way or the other. They think when the lights turn since they have right of way they can cross the street without looking to see if the traffic has stopped. The word is drivers do not look out for pedestrians.
Someone told me that a woman was crossing the street and she did a car lifted her up and threw her on the ground. God preserve me from that. I thought she was dead but was told she was badly injured and the family is getting a lawyer to sue the driver. Know that it will be an exorbitant sum of money. Pedestrians have to look out for drivers.
It all boils down to drivers be careful.
I do not walk or cross blindly. Prior to crossing, I turn around and look around and then cross. Pedestrians are told when the lights change wait for the vehicles to come to a stop. Reason being, the driver(s) brakes could give way and plow into pedestrians who are crossing the road/street. This happens occasionally at intersections and in the middle of the road at that as if it is a curse.
Drive safely. In the case where a pedestrian may be concerned (not this time), pedestrians be careful. All of us know that a life lost cannot be regained. Those who are injured could be maimed for life. Be responsible people and look out for each other, no exception drivers.
I am unable to comprehend why drivers do not (always) obey the road regulations. It could be either their life or the life of a passenger or a pedestrian. What will it take for them to pay heed?
@ T and J…Don’t forget to give us a full discription of your day…who knows how long your story might be…but please try not to get killed in the process….DRIVE SAFELY…
MAN STOP WRITING THESE HALLELUIA BIO/STORIES WHY EVERY THING HAS TO BE ABOUT YOU…
country girl u make me lmao!!! i know right
STUPES!!! Who the heck cares about your life story. Give us a fricking break!
STUPES!
who gives a s**t about your life story? This isn’t about you. Give us a fricking break by not writing so much!
I think that DNO should put a word limit for commenting on featured stories. Some pple blabber to dam much.
I got an earache halfway through this comment, i had to stop reading, would not like to listen to you talk nah man, never.
u actually read dat? ebeh u have time.
How silly some of you are and also to make silly comments which make no sense. Someone comments sensibly which is an advice and message for everyone, drivers and pedestrians alike and you give the person thumbs down. No problem whatsoever! I suspect what type of minds would do this. You see, the world comprises of all types of people with all types of mentality and some warped ones which are unloving. You have depicted as always that you do not want is good for you, for others and for your country and could not care less. These are the constant critics which do nobody any good. Who cares about you and your reaction?
I am at peace and for having written! Thanks be to God! Can you say the same?
I have much to share with you which are sensible comments. I could write a book about that and of my experience.
In my estimation, your reaction does not count and is null and void where I am concerned. I know better than you do. Eat your heart out.
why is dominica newsonline so biase and untidy if u all r bringing and showing the pics why erase some of the pictures. DNO needs to come better than that i can remember the pic they had about the dominican killed in st marteen the erased the boy faced and wen u visited the site where they took the original news everything was clear.DNO stop being hypocritesand lastly didn’t you all see the st.lucia accident a dead body was behind thed residents why didn’t u all erase that too.
I really don’t want to see the dead body and if it was my family in an accident, I would not want DNO blasting their mangled bodies on the website. That would not be the lasting image I would want of my mom or uncle etc. Thank you very much.
@ me
Always criticizing. Alway negative. I do think the pics are a good idea which give us, worldwide the extent of the damage. They may not be important to you as it depends on your mentality but they are important to others. Every one has a different mentality and what could be done and what should be done. Some of us appreciate it. TV Stations proviide this information. Why not DNO? Give this a thought.
DNO keep it up and thank you! I wish that drivers will be more careful in the future. Our duty is to preserve life; not to destroy it and to avoid accidents and injuries.
common dominicans have a little respect encourage each other with some good advice
@ Anonymous
You are correct. I commend you for that. Offering bad/evil advice will not make us happy for what we sow we shall surely reap. It tells much about us and our demeanor, what is imbedded in our heart and mind. It is the same, what comes out of our mouths tell a lot about us.
another from BAWI
@ Rene
Yes! It is sad that a life has been lost from this earth though an accident. The family are grieving. May God bless them and cover them with his mantle of consolation and strength. All of us have lost loved ones through whatever means and we know what it is to grieve and the pain of the passing of loved ones. I can state that it is no easy matter to bear.
If you are old enough, the words of Nat Kin Cole resonate: “Only those who have loved and lost could know how a heart can cry.” While it does not pertain to the passing of a loved one, we could attribute it to their passing as also Hilroy Ambo. We have reasons to be sad for his family.
As St. Paul said, “Rejoice with those who rejoice. Mourn/weep with those who do.”
I pray that God had mercy on his soul.
We are in the month of November when the Catholic Church specifically remembers the departed – the faithful departed. God who is the Judge knows who they are. Our concern is to pray for them. We have a Book of Life in the Church which is near the Altar. I have written some names of those who passed on from December 2010 to present. I will write his name in that Book. We leave all in the hands of the Lord.
I once again extend my deepest sympathy to all members of his family.
May Hilroy Ambo rest in God’s peace. Amen!
this is a driver who is know to have no consideration for other drivers on the road >>JAIL HIM<<
No mention of the dead. Can someone say who died and the drivers of the vehicles
Ileen all I have to tell you is read. tonner!
she posted on the 13th!! His name was not there on the 13th!!!
Why didn’t YOU read b4 you comment insultingly?!?!
it is so so sad how much somebody can take they just lost their brother now their dad lord protect these kids lord have mercy on that family rest in peace my dear friend.
We Dominicans are so critical……..people try to do/say something right their head gets cut of, they do wrong the same, an accident happens…..we find every reason to talk talk and more talk, accidents do happen, as much as some can be avioded, it’s sad when they do happen..
But It is clear that some of us are most content with sad news…sad to say but it’s true..
A road awareness campaign driven by the government or private sector is required urgently to address this. Too many drivers driving recklessly and selfishly. When the new westcoast road is complete the death
toll is really going to rise.. The number of drivers cornering too fast and then having to straddle lanes is at an all time high. The crazy overtaking and scooter/bike crew is another whole story.
Right you are. If the govt. wants revenue, start by giving big fines to these reckless drivers. Then they may start to change their ways.
That would certainly help to pay the government workers, PROBLEM is… every driver has a relative on the police force!
A raod awareness campaign should start with the Policemen who escort the Prime Minister. They just figure that because they driving the PM they can do what they want in traffic.
We need to drive with due care think and see that the road is clear that we can see ahead and be sure that nothing else is coming before overtaking people are taking other peoples life in their hands on the buses as well. It is not going to help this person now but others need to take heed. Even Police in there own cars are racing under the canecliff and overtaking. Motor Bikes over take on left and right side. Need to be very Alert out their. Police is needed to get the speeding under control. Having said all this nobody will be extra careful because someone died Remember Grace last year the case has not even been heard yet will be 2years going soon.
I am so sad dominican lets move on
boobie dead his son crying i sorry of his son
People when these storms of life comes around we should not be playing the blame game we she be sympathetic towards one another because disaster have no respect of person the rain falls both on the just and the unjust.once again my sympathy got out to both party the family of the deceased and the driver of the van.God is still on his throne looking down on his own. you are in my prayers.Beverlyn Lanns Henry.
R.I.P my deepest sympathy
I feel very compassionate towards the driver and his family the family of the deceased be strong in the Lord.Behind every dark cloud is a silver lining,after a storm is a calm, trouble sometimes makes us strong.Set your eyes on the Lord. gaze at Him forget the world and it’s pressure.Remember life without God is no life at all be encourage be strong God is holding your hand.
thats so sad for us in Dominica but our drivers must and need to drive with caution, some times i wonder where they are going with that speed. I drive the road every day and is just the hand of God that is protecting us every day because on that road drivers are just crazy. and another thing as for those driving company vehecles and government transport
I travel this road 5 days a week. Whether is Chinese or Dominican, but the majority of these heavy equipment drivers drive carelessly because they know that they will not take the brunt of damage from any accident. They take corners wide,they drive in the middle of the road, they speed ! Just recently a co-worker and i were within a few inches of being squashed in her car by some heavy equipment on the road. Lord help us who travel on these roads frequently.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, ARE YOU BLIND THE DUMP TRUCK IS DEAD LEFT ,ASK THE DRIVER OF THE PICKUP TRUCK HOW HE FIND HIMSELF ACROSS THE ROAD
ikr..u fooolll..the trucj did ntn ..bu tinfact helped
u doe even know what happen so HUSH UR MOUTH the van driver was overtaking in the corner so doe come and blame it on chinese or dominican heavy equipment drivers so please stop spreading false rumors
I was coming from the day care with my lil girl on my shoulder and saw one of those monster truckers coming down the road. I was already at the door of my car and getting in. but anyone who has kids know how that is. you know that bastard son of a DOG never hit his brakes NOT ONCE and came barreling down on me and my 1 yr old…….SMH i cant say what i would have done if anything happened, though i have an idea what i would have done. and its not calling the police!! i sometimes get aroused thinking of the EVIl that would have played out that day……I get hard thinking of that pig with his chest open playing bad, and how he would just turn to putty when he see what going to happen to him and his pathetic life..
REST IN PEACE BOOBY.PRAY 4 THE FAMILY.
look at the tyre of the red van. who is in charge of road safety in Dominica? to see that vichels keep to road standards. who will enforce that? people taking cutlas out when they cannot get pass you to overtake. when you reports this crime to the police they do nothing. drink driving, well lets start this debate. you see D/A is becoming more and more lawless. ANYTHING GOESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS…..
The way ppl are driving in dominica alot of ppl wil die. it is high time that the law step in. drivers nd to b charged 4 speeding. charged 4 bad driving. can i also say.wat r ur police doin? they drive just the same way.so who is takin care of our safety on the road? no one. lawless dominica. its a damn shame.it is also the buss drivers look how they drive? with no respect 4 ppl or 4 other road users.how lawless. the ppl nd to take more responsibility for their own action. The heavy good drivers feel they have more right than anyone else on the road, because the are high up on the road.
what is the government doing. they need more speed bumps more road signs. and get those bad drivers off the road. people should report bad drivers, take number plates, and report. after it is reported what will the law do about it?…
Traffic signs aren’t gonna change jack! and please stop blaming the truck driver, as a witness i find it hard to understand how you can miss a first truck then still go on your way to end up slamming into the one right around the corner, the truck driver actually drove into the gutter to avoid the dude, smh, the family of every1 involved need prayer, and our drivers need GOD!
Omg..someone who understtnds….the turck driver can never be at fault here..if he was he wud be arrested on the spot……i was told by a policemen that the truck driver is safe nd as soon as the driver is released frm the hospital it is obligated by the policemen to arrest the injured drive as he cause the death of the other…….i like ur style…nd i was also a witness..dominicans are too follish….they need to get their facts right!!
To all you Dominicans, regardless of the cause of the accident there is a family out their grieving and others sad about this sudden death, so pay some respect and back-off just for the night with your ridiculous comments and broken English so that the family can grieve. To Travis Ambo who recently experienced the loss of his brother and today the loss of his father, my greatest sympathy goes out to you and your family. Put everything into the hands of God and he will see you through. May God bless you. Piece…..
BOY
To all you Dominicans out their, regardless of how the accident happened a family is grieving, and others are sad so please just for the night back off the ridiculous comments and the use of broken English and give that family a chance to grieve . To Travis Ambo in Salisbury who recently experienced the loss of his brother, and today, his father, accept my sympathy and may both their souls rest in piece. GOD, Everything is in your hand.
Very good comment. This is so true. We have forgotten that there is a family who is mourning two tragic vehicular deaths in less than no time. May God provide you with the strength to endure this pain.
There must be great grief in the families since the driver is the first cousin of the deceased (they were raised as brothers in the same home).
This is so sad my sympathy goes out to the family may you find strenth in the father above in this tragic time
rest in peace my friend
Are there any speed limits in Dominica?
wow……offcourse their r speed limits..they r ignored but they are still their
This is the Internet what with the censoring of the pics.
ikr……..well at the scene there was a pastor screaming to let the f amily hve peace nd keep fotos of the man away frm the internet…however his picture is still going to be in the newspaper..like really???
people no sense for censoring we are in modern times now and don’t even ask for the increasing developments in technology some things just can’t be avoided it is being done everywhere even on well to do news stations around the world keep up with the times!
dat wat happen wen u drive fast to all of u dont drive fast
sad
Sunshine state:
All the comments that i’ve seen appears that these drivers need to be more careful…The officers need to put in place not just for drugs but for the ones that speed and cause the lives of innocent people…Do you know how much money is being generated by given tickets here in Florida…We cannot go but not more 5 miles pass our speed limit because the roads are crowded with troopers doing their job…Even that gun from far away they’ll catch you without you even knowing…Time to walke up Government of DA…
u people try to ridicule da ….i think we hve established the fact that da i snot like america and will never be developed like america ..so if u r from ameriica o r jus live in america u shud nt cme to dis website nd indirectly ridicule dominica…im from dominican..nd im proud……so back the hell of if u r nt
it is so sad for him some people has to dild so plase yes crying and god love you.
Welcome to Dominica editor.. Its a van no need for the indirect criticism….
What indirect criticism? DNO is not only read by Dominicans, this is the WWW. And for your information DNO is correct, the vehicle in question is a Pick Up. A van is something else.
listen this a stupid argument,they are addressed as small or large trucks in some countries,it does not matter,this is not the issue here,we are witness to an unfortunate accident,we need to be sympathetic toward the family’s who are both impacted by the lost of life and lessons to be learned here.
it is so sad for him some people has to dild so plase no crying and the farmiy god love you
WOW K DESGRASIA THATS WHY TRCKS DRIVERS CANOT BE RUNNIG FAST
RIP
We have the most reckless drivers in Dominica> They have no regard for human life> they over pack the buses, drive too quickly and when u complain they tell you you scared to die.
I am not scared of dying but it shouldn’t be in an accident that could have been avoided> Police officers need to take their jobs seriously and not only ticket illegal parking, but over loaded buses and reckless driving,senseless use of the horn just to name a few> sympathy to the family of the deceased
My sympathy to the family. Now it is time to wake up and smell the coffee. The coming of the Lors is near. Let us all prepare for His appearance; and remember He will come as a thief in the night. Let us all Prepare to meet thy God. And while on Earth let us unite with everyone and keep on loving.
so cause it have an accident the comin of the Lord is near? accidents have been happening million and million of years.
in dominica the drivers on the road a to ignorant, they wont give u a chance. i no the truck driver could have avoid it but this driver they have no heart we all experience that every day, some time all it takes is slow down and we all go our way.
very sad day In Da,every day is bad news,we have 2 be very careful on the roads, when Driving,
may his soul rest in peace and may ur family find strength in jesus christ.
God help this driver……………help his family n friends
i hope dat the driver makes it…………….its so sad 2 see dat
It is very sad another young life is gone, we’ve 2 be more careful on the roads,
it is a construction zone why are you driving so fast
My sincere condolences to the family and friends of the decease.
I hope the other drivers involved were not physically hurt.
so poor
Drivers Drivers Drivers! take it easy on the road. All you can put all the amount of Thumbs down all you want, but some of these drivers are just too reckless. They do not care about the lives of others. There is a big sign which says “DO NOT OVERTAKE” right under the Canefield cliff, and what do they do, they do their darnest to overtake as fast as possible. The road from Pond Case to Canefield is as smooth as possible, so what do they do, they fly. I have seen so many near misses, It is scary. Drivers, you need to understand that roads do not kill people neither do vehicle, except your brakes giveaway, but it is the senseless judgment of reckless drivers who always seem to be in a hurry.
I AM PLEADING TO BLACKMORE, TO INSIST THE SPEED BUMPS BE PLACED ON THE NEW CANEFIELD HIGH WAY. PLEASE, SPEED BUMPS SAVE LIVES.
Either you were secretly listening to me or we think very much alike. You share my thoughts exactly. So many times I witness senseless overtaking and speeding under the cliff and the place is not yet even completed. What will they do when it is? SPEED BUMPS PLEASE because they are not recognising the no overtaking sign. My child travels there to school everyday. Please protect her and other innocent people. I am so afraid of the drivers.
They have to have speed bumps for these drivers, otherwise there will be a lot of accidents.
Dominicans are so damn bias! When the accident happened in St. Lucia, I don’t remember anyone saying the accident may have been caused, as a result of speeding but when it happens in Dominica we are quick to say its speeding. Geez…
THATS BECAUSE IT WAS SPEEDING AND DRUNKENESS!!! stupess
Maybe because we live in Dominica and we witness the recklessness every day, all over the country. IT IS DOWNRIGHT SCARY. The younger guys drive really bad. Most drivers stop anywhere, drivers are impatient, they can hardly wait for a driver infront them to make a complete stop a turn. It is bad and it is getting worse with the new roads which are coming.
We see the drivers in Dominica everyday and it is the grace and mercy of God which prevents us from having more fatal accident. It is terrible. Our drivers are becoming very hostile, and not to mention the constant drinking which impedes some of these drivers judgement.
but u folll!!!…it is bcuz of speeding and also the driver saud that he got a blackout!!
obviously you are, you get a grade k pupil help with ur letter sounds which will help with that spelling problems of yours…
yesterday i missed an accident cuz i miss judged the on coming vechle thank God we didnt crash but we all need to be careful specially after work or on way home from sewo…streets are bad n when they done repairs we need to be even more careful….n is yet to be confirmed the driver died think his alive
May your soul rest in peace and may god bless the family.
hope he had insrance
it is so sad ,every day its a bad news.to the family my condolences.
visited dominica recently and the driving is knots. god’s eye is ever on these drivers and their occupants. this portion of road……only god knows whats going on out there. man with a naked eye just cannot tell.
this was a result of careless driving by the driver of the van…………to the people who are trying to blame the truck driver..it would be better if u shut up!!!…..the van’s driver was speeding and tried to prevent coliding with a 1st truck and as a result to his panicking crashed with the truck which was behind of the 1st truck…the 2nd truck driver tried his best to prevent this by going to the farthest side and even ended up in agutrter..he tried his best and he saved one life cuz if he did nt put his very expensive truck in the gutter both drivers would of die…DOMINICANS AND OUTSIDERS GET UR FACTS RIGHT BEFORE U COME ON THIS WEBSITE AND POST SUCH FOOLISHNESS…i knw the exact story ..so i am sharing..
There is no question whether it was reckless driving. My concern is, of all the years I live in this country, the harshest punishment I have heard for vehicular homicide is suspension of licence for 10 years. And we all know they continue to drive even then. This we need to work on.
Just like in upper. Goodwill. There. Is a. School. And. The. Government need to put. Speed. Bumps there. Don’t wait. For. Are. Child. To. Get run. Over. To do. It
A aaaaaaaaa u own this website???
no ido not own this website but i will say wat i want wen i want nd how i want..so u deal with it..im nt ridiculing anybody!!!..i am jus giving the facts…so dnt cme unda ma comment and try nd act mocho………accept the truth u imbecile!!!
Whilst there may be cause to highlight road traffice issues. This not the time to do it, a life was lost and another is very ill in hospital. Don’t wait to comment when lives are lost. This a tragedy and family and friends are grieving. If you care, which you dont appear to, go and make a difference and campaign for changes in the most appropriate way. Please do not make negative or unecessary comments – just thing about the family and friends who need all our prayers.
So sad. Very nice guy. Used to get fish from him all the time. We need to change our ways people. We are no longer teenagers and we should no longer be fearless and reckless. I pray healing for the family.
boy i feeling sad even
doh
bot de road not even good for dem tings to be happoning non
bot de road not even good for dat for dem tings to be happoning
Its so said to know one minute u are ok and then your dead. Accept my sympathy to the love ones .
The government need to post traffic signs all over the road, and the drivers need to heed to the posted traffic signs, alcohol is a major facture also, sad case how many more lifes,does it have to take before every driver slow down, and respect the rules of the road?.the island populatton is down 10,ooo our young men are into drugs, and alcohol,and are dying from car crash, schooter accidents, motor cycle, and trucks , and car accident . can every body slow down please.
Who’s going to enforce the law? The ever drunk Dominican police?
silly and uncalled for comment.
road laws awa i dont think so. it has a sign under the cliff canfield saying no overtaking and they still overtake they even hitting the sign u can put all kind of road laws and sign it wont matter to dominicans cause we all dont care bout those things
There will be many more accidents.Alot of these heavy trucks drive our narrow roads without no one at the front guiding incoming traffic even when carrying heavy cargo.some even drop rocks on the road because of overloading.Sad but true.
This is a dumper truck, not a trailer truck and therefore it does not need a guide. While information is sketch still, look at where the truck is, far to the left, which means he was driving on his side.
this happen in a intersection in those area u most slow down the police need to check the horne and the brakes of that truck.
u dnt even knw the situation and ur tlking bout heavy truchks…sttttppppeessss…the truck was nt the cause..the van was. the driver of the van was speeding nd was trying nt to collide with another truch and as a result colided wit this one..In addintion the red truch driver even went in the gutter to try to prevent this..but still cudnt..get ur facts right befre u mke such foolish comments
They must obey traffic regulations and always stick to their side of the road. It is as simple as that. This would avoid accidents and death.
Also injuries.
sorry will always be remembered
rest in peace may the lord be with you
i am so sorry for the lost of the died
the guy thats peeping into the van looks like somebody from vieille case .i hope he was not the driver for the big truck. may the soul of the deceased rest in peace and may the familly find comfort in god
so sad may his/her soul rest in paece..
OMG my fader friend
So sad to see u one minute an the next u gone . Sympathy goes out to the family an love ones
RIP Hilroy..may yr soul rest in eternal peace..witnessed the accident and saw u lying there in the van and knew that God had called u home..sad but life comes at us fast…
“God called him home” in such a horrible death?? Awah, You can’t be serious!!
God calls us home in many ways..jus like he allows us to go through different situations (good, bad and rock bottom) to reaffirm his presence to us even though some of us are hard of hearing…jus saying…
my sympathy goes out to the family. dont you think we should wait for the full story before we call it an accident? sometimes it can be carelessness. i hope the families find strength to go on. i know its not easy
and even if its carelessness, wouldnt the carelessness cause an ACCIDENT? duuuuhhhhhhhhhh
we call pregnancy accident too
so true if u fooled around on the streets its careless drving if it results in damage to another vehicle or person its reckless driving if it results in another persons death its reckless n dangerous driving.
@ ME..u need to shut up and stop belching bubbles.carelessness or accident still got one man dead…the pick up truck driver was speeding and that was what caused the man’s demise….i was right there..saw it happen and saw Hilroy succumb to all his injuries. the driver also is my cousin but u have to put truth where it ought to be..he was driving recklessly and that, and nuttin else caused the accident. the big truck driver did all he could to help with the situation he saw coming but unfortunately it wasn’t all good..RIP BOUBAI
Very very sad, life is short and timely no one knows when where and how. My condolences to the family.
Be strong to the family of the dead person. We are supposed to be careful as the road is still under construction,but the Chinese don’t worry that other vehicles are on the road. They drive and operate like they are the only ones and have no regard for us Dominican drivers.
Remmember Dominicans The Chinese is not on our time. They dont have to wait for us,We have to wait. Let them plp do their job.

i would like to see you go china and tell them about your time even if they doing the road which i am very grateful but they to out of order…tell them chinese know there place…..
