A man escaped serious injuries following what appears to be a freak accident in Fond Cole on Friday morning.
According to police PRO, Inspector John Carbon, the man was riding a motor scooter when it began malfunctioning and skidded off the road.
The man eventually found himself underneath a parked bus with no serious injuries.
“The bus was not being driven at the time,” Carbon said. “The person found himself under the bus.”
The man was taken to hospital but was released soon after, he said.
it looks like his dead
it looks like his dead
so much dramatic people was sayin that dno shouldn’t hav posted the pic of this guy…. i wonder if it’s ok now because they now confirm that he’s alive
Well I am absolutely delighted to read that this gentleman was able to be released from the hospital the very same day. Thank God for that.
Lets move on people and stop having a go at me for voicing my concerns,ha ha.
I do hope we can all agree to disagree. That is what its all about, right?
Peace
Praise the Lord the young man is fine, thank god for his safety. However, we are all educated in our own way, but I have to admit some of us just don’t or can’t read properly to make sense of what was read. Brothers and sisters please read the reports carefully then make your comments and make sense of what you are commenting on, cause some of us sounds so uneducated.
It was malfunctioning? Was he driving fast? Thank God he only has injuries. How fortunate he was that it was not worst and the bus was not moving. I hope he recovers from his injuries. It must have been a trauma for him and where he landed which was something beyond his control.
Dats my cousin right i thanks god hes alive today n save him fr this accident. I pray dat he gets better n heal fr this injuries. God is good at all times. Get better soon cuz♡
Trevor use to be a police in Anguilla.
Trevor Fabien is not in Tortola ,he lives and works in England and I am pretty sure he has seen worst reporting.Praise God the young is ok it could have been a lot worst.
Ha Ha.
It seems like you have been keeping tabs on me Joy. Well I am glad you got our info right and yes I use to be a police officer in Anguilla and served in the British Army in Bosnia, Northern Ireland and Kosovo. The reason why I mentioned the service is because as you said I have seen some things.
When there is an unfortunate situation like this, one must always respect and preserve the dignity of the victim.
We must always empathise and understand what effects such pictures have on the victims and especially on the family members who may have learnt of this accident via DNO.
As a former police Officer and Soldier we would cordon the area and move people as far away as possible from the site of the accident. I am guessing that this picture was taken by an amateur who probably sent it to DNO.
As for some people who say that this is done in other countries. I say to them that it does not make it right because they do it in Iraq because they certainly don’t show it in the Uk
A news item of this magnitude has no names or proper photo but what small mindness and backward thinking is this nuh ?
You too fass!!! What names do you need…the content of the report is enough…do u know if the man wanted DNO to reveal his name…talking stupidness about small mindedness…What happen to all yuh diaspora nuh…bondoo oy
Ok people. Thank God the guy is OK. You can’t even tell who it is. Enough already. Case closed. Great job DNO.
dominicans a very low minded and accident happen when for you guys to be praying for the young man all you using a photo dno upload to ctitise
you just can’t please folks when they don’t get pics they complain when they see pics they complain.Just shut up and read the news.
I agree with you Greg. When they had pictures of the accident with the young fireman and the other young man who were travelling to wherever to represent Dominica, people said so many things, until DNO had to remove the pictures…now they block the man’s face they complaining, Dominicans are just hard to please.
DNO its about time you update the public bcuz that pic have the people thinking this was a tragic accident when it was not. The boy slide under a packed bus after his bike crashed..He was then nursed with minor injuries
at pmh and discharged…..
Then say there is no God! smh. Our God is awesome !!
Why didn’t God prevent the accident in the first place?
are you stupid questioning God fool
thats a very stupid question to ask…are u questioning GOD’s work..
Because sometimes we need to see and know that God is still God and no matter what we sometimes get ourselves into, he is able to deliver. All for the glory of God.
God should also brush your teeth and comb your hair. There is evil in this world woman…surrender your life to Christ, love him as His word says and then with your faith your prayer can turn around an accident.
just maybe if you were saved and knew Jesus Christ you would understand that sometimes he lets things happen to us because we are too busy doing our own thing some of us are only there because it have people out there praying and fasting for God our lord Jesus Christ to save our country…………..
He will not for He is God. The reason, to bring out a greater good. Note how many people thanked him. This means they recognize him, have him in mind and know that He is above, taking note and is in control.
When people leave home they should pray to God for protection and safety. How many do that?
As Our Lord said, “In all things give God (due) thanks and praise.”
Always think, it could have been worst. It is difficult for people as you with your type of mind to comprehend.
ask him that personally ner, ur stupid. question anyone else BUT U DOT QUESTION GOD. don’t pass your place
All right.
There is no God. Or, more accurately and less offensively to you, I do not share your belief in a personal deity.
What now? Isn’t the result the same?
people its call the news reporting the picture comes with the news
DNO Admin, you can’t be serious. In my opinion, you show no regard for the individual involved nor for his family by having such a picture(showing where he is pinned under the bus)in the news item. Have a heart. Be more professional in your reporting.
an effort is made to blurr the person to the point where he is unrecognizable…i just watched a news article on cnn that shows a lady giving her baby nephew CPR on a Miami highway after he turned blue from not breathing…and they were completely recognizable….news in my opinion should show facts…where i agree some respect is needed and was somewhat shown…it shows the reality of the situation.
Very true, hence the reason the media can spread propaganda most times…We need the truth all the time.
Thank you very much Bayside. I share your sentiments as well but unfortunately not many people who comment on here agree with you and I.
I find this very disturbing that people don’t see a problem with this. I think this has unfortunately become the norm
I did not see nothing bad about that picture.
because it is not u or ur family thats there
Seriously? On CNN you see accidents all the time, with people stuck under all things including vehicles…trees…bridges…NEWS is NEWS!
My prayers go out to this young man an his family.
Why is it that we Dominicans find negative things to say
about everything, instead of complaining an posting stupid comments about what DNO did an didn’t do say a pray for the young man’s safe recovery an for his family an our nation.
good vbz,positive is the way we should think!
@stupid helmet goint to stop u from getting pinned under a buss?
I hope he is ok. Our prayers should be for the wearing of helmets to be made compulsory in Dominica. We keep praying, but for all the wrong things. God gave us all brains, we now need to pray to him to seek how best we can use it. These accidents are so distressing to keep hearing about.
some of all you just giving negative comments a lone if it was all you all you would not do a better job.continue doing your good work dno.some people real ignorant eh……..god bless the family
Let’s pray for the man to get better and pray that he is not in a critical condition and his family are comforted by our prayers instead of sitting behind our screens complaining about every little thing DNO brings to our attention.
Come on people wake up from all you small Island mentality.. go watch CNN, France 24, Aljazeera, BBC International as for Fox news and tell me what grim pictures you guys see, and tell us on here if it is not worst than what DNO publishes. Do you all write to complain? Read some of the International papers on the net, for example, check out
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html
the huffingtonpost usa
http://jamaica-gleaner.com/
and so much more
sometimes we Dominicans are too darm impossible and nothing goes amiss without a useless outburst of complain
Very well stated!
Irresponsibly putting up stories withuot doing research…then you refuse to post my comment…good going…. Beff Online
SHUT THE HELL UP ! STUPES
You saw they said that they are following the story right? jezzzz you people are so difficult to please. My God man
Do not speak on issues u know nothing about Damascus without the cus…..
Can’t u all see the face is blocked. DO U KNOW WHO THIS IS? Stupesssss!
The purpose for the picture is to show and tell riders,they or we should wear helmets..
Im sure this youngman was
Not wearing a helmet thats a lesso.
That is very insensitive. You sound like your handle, Stupid.
…or that bus drivers and them should realise that they are not the only ones on de road!!!! SLOW DOWN. Dominica would be a much safer place for all if DRIVERS slowed down. WHAT????? Every man on a mission?!?!
the bus not driving at the moment. please take time to read.
first off i am going to say thank you lord for saving my boyfriends life without your love , guidance and mercy i dont know how we would have made it through.thanks to everyone who had him in there prayers and thanks to all those who posted there negative comments god is good all the time . he is getting better having little difficulties. the pic looks bad but its not that much the bus was not moving thanks god for that. to all who prayed for him keep on praying cause he needs it.love u all
stop being rediculous about a lesson stupes!!!!! yes he should have worn a helmet but there are the advantages and disadvantages of wearing a helmet. mayb if he had on a helmet he would have been a dead man cause neck wouldve been broken.
I would like the christian society to go to that area and pray there a some negative focuses in that area………..
what nonsense you saying there.. allu dominican need to fraid vehicles crossing the road when you seein a vehicle coming
And you are the ring leader of those negative forces.
do make me find you on the road eh, cause I just mught press gas instead of breaks..
Tommy Lee that cause that smh
Some of all you need to hush there . Nothing is wrong with what DNO has done. I doh know who that is . What should they do not report it? Stuff like that happens all the time. It is news.They went about it the correct way by censoring the pic. Stop sensationalizing everything man. A man pinned under a bus yes it’s awful. I wont know if is my dad, unless i get a call i definitely wont know its him.
The beautiful thing about the internet age is that it gives everyone of us a voice and an audience. However some of us who do use this very internet media also don’t use it to educate ourselves as to how media houses should behave irrespective of the culture, norm or their resources.
So when you Mr Weekes talk, please speak from an informed and educated stand point when it pertains to the rules of reporting.
Fabien, your exactly right about the internet being big mask. so thanks for telling us your name. Now tell us what was wrong with the reporting. Tell us what DNO should have done. I take it that you know what you talking about and are educated in the field of Journalism. Maybe i don’t know so tell us, and then we will pick apart wether you make sense or not.
Stupes why so hypocrite ppl Stupes because dno show a photo what’s so wrong in that alu don’t watch new on tv Stupes idiots
Why publish the photo?
So that ppl can see “man pinned down under bus in fondcole” if u doh want to see foto den doh watch foto simple
I pray that he is alive!
I heard this news on QFM about 2 hours ago and now this picture of a young man stuck under a bus.
Surely DNO has not thought this through. This sort of reporting shows no consideration and sympathy for the family of this unfortunate man.
This distressing picture has been published by DNOOOO without any consideration as to whether or not family of this victim has been informed.
In my opinion, this is definitely not responsible journalism and I really thing someone at DNO has been over exuberant.
I am not inpressed
that’s why they blurred the face…
But yet we watch worse pictures than that on CNN and the other foreign media. I find nothing wrong with the picture.
What about all the violence on TV which some of them love viewing and enjoying.
But Trevor you see worst photos than that in tortola where you work as a police officer…….. live and via the media…..so what’s your point.
Ha Ha
I have never worked in Tortola but I did work in Anguilla as a police officer and the british army as a soldier.
Here’s the thing ok,the media like CNN,BBC and ITN report differently to newspapers. A lot of people are getting the way these two different media specialist operate.
Come on we should empathise and understand how this works. I hope you get what I am trying to say
dat is a record man! do u ppl really think of what u type before posting,
lololololol
the entire world has access to this site and u all,some of u all are making complete fools of you all’s self,go back and read the comments,is that really the level of thinking we want to show the outside world,that we have,the news was brought out,so are u telling me that instead of seeing how the man was pinned u would have preffered to imagine how he was pinned,come on Dominicans are wise ppl,don’t represent us as being foolish by these some of these stupid comments.ANY WAY I’M NOT PINALIZING ANY ONE JUS SAYING CAREFUL HOW U ALL SPEAK HERE!
DNO has done exactly what Fox News, CNN, or any news media would have done. Notice that before any of these news media show graphic pictures, caution is mentioned to their viewers….” we must warn you that the pictures you are about to see are graphic in nature”. and then they proceed to show the pictures
DNO has done the same thing by blotting out the face of the person. Great Job DNO!!!
I am disappointed….DNO come like a bef bringer..this is serious and that pic should not even be up…i wonder how they’d feel if it was a family member of administrative staff! Media needs to learn how to keep certain things private. Despite the fact that the picture is somewhat censored i think its inappropriate!
Well if from that photo you can tell anyone who that person under the bus is I’ll personally Pay you my monthly salary…
Dno come like beff bringer but as you heard about it first place u checked for the beff was DNO so who more out of order here? Allu too dam hypocrit, when cnn publish fotos of all kinda tragedy y don’t u all blog about it. Leave dno inform the public of events, allu don’t even kno what allu want in Dominica. Fais negre bien c’est mal.
Excuse you…DNO posts this on fb..and i came here only because i wanted to comment. Insensitive idiot you are!
oh shut up.. bigger news websites and news channels dont hide anything.. you Dominicans always have something to complain about
Before you say these things about DNO you may need to look at other news agencies in the world. that’s what they do daily. DNO was nice enough to blur the pic out, CNN online or BBC world news would have been under the bus trying to conduct an interview….. Great job DNO for bringing me the News or bef to me, as it happens all the way out here in NY.
Where do you reside? This is narrow-mindedness on your part.
Yes Father! Thank you for being there. Continue to be with us. I pray peace for the driver and for the injured man, God’s speedy healing.
OMG An Angel was with this young man
Hope he comes out safe.
eh huh?? oh lord
I was just sitting in my living room praying. Asking God to help someone who is in trouble, someone who is sick, someone is about to commit murder/suicide, someone in an accident and logged on to Fb and saw this post. I know that if there is a God out there you are listening. I know that most of us only call on you when we are in trouble but I don’t know who this person is, but I’m asking you dear Lord to save him. You said in your word that if we call upon you, you will answer us, and now I’m praying for this man that you will set him free from and he will be fine. Miracles happen daily and we know that it is because of you they happen. Thank you for doing it in your name we pray. Amen.
I want to thank you for saving than man’s life. Without your prayers he would surely be dead.
All glory and honour belong to God. He does miracles through us. give him the praise, glory and honour.
What is wrong with this picture……you are praying to God in your living room for all sorts of things….and in the same breath, you are saying “if”there is a God out there he is listening…..where is the faith? do you believe there is a God out there….I am sure you do, since you were praying to Him..so take away that doubt….’if’.
Ho no it a miracle and Angel was caring this young man.
Damn!. Hope he ok
how in the hell did that happen?
thats some real …..
alas Lord help us on the road
oh gosh!!
OMG!! Let’s pray that he’ll be ok…..
Once again drivers must take their time on the road. We are in no rush, and even though you’re in a rush, it’s better you’re late than never.
Further, the bus drivers must understand that they are carrying passengers and must know that their is a speed limit.
If all drivers a caustious on the road we will have less fatal accidents…
But they want to race on …
God be with you my dear
Alas! I hope he recovers fully.
