The Fire and Ambulance Services are currently attending to a vehicular accident which occurred moments ago on the jimmit highway.
The two vehicles involved a van and an SUV which were travelling in opposite directions and collided head-on.
Information reaching Dominica News Online is that, as a result of the accident, one woman is critically injured and three other people are nursing serious wounds.
DNO will continue to follow that story

Such a terrible news. Can you give some more explanation and information about this case or accident. If you share this then it will be very helpful for me.
I guess with the fabulous roads, there should have also been traffic codes enforcement, such as speed limit enforcement
All hussie doing is cry; I hope he ask himself a question. He need to continue crying some more. Wifey could’ve been killed thanks to him. Mister reach at the hospital smelling rum the same night. It’s unfair, she is in so much pain. I feel sorry for the lady.

Drinking , and driving again? this is a common practice in dominica, and the caribean, that practice is the root of most of all the accident unless the police chief, and who ever is responsible applied, or enforce the law we will contineu to lose life and limbs, and add more work to the emergence room staff and the economy , yes road blocks , drunk driving violation, more police enforcement stiffer fine jail time untill that happend the trend will contineu.
not road allu want i numaput speedbumps every half a mile and d rd doe even finish na gosh dominicans must doo better dan dat they want to drive faast make them drive fast and die less fast drivere eh lol olol o o llolzz
My prayer for Dominica in 2012 and beyond is that the Spirit of Father God will hover over the land and chase away every spirit of premature death, every blood-thirsty demons and the spirit of drugs and alcohol.
I pray that our young people’s desire will be to serve the almighty God with the desire to increase in His knowledge and to walk in His love and righteousness. That young as well as our older men will take their rightful positions in society and become Godly leaders of society and at home.
Everything the locust, cankerworm, palmerworm and caterpillar stole we take by by authority, in JESUS’ NAME.
God bless DOMINICA! A NEW A FRESH BLESSING FROM 2012 and beyond!.
COVER DOMINICA FATHER GOD – GIVE UNTO HER THE FORMER AND LATTER RAIN.

lets all learn to spell before we post our comments, especially the negative comments ok folks !!
Oh please, no one is in school here. I bet you understood what the person(s) said. Stop being Mr/Miss education officer. No one is perfect
(.), i’m sure you checked yours before posting it. LOL!
OHH OHH I hope no one got hurt, but any labourite onboard could die for my part…
You are wishing death on to another human being because of their political affiliation? Shame on you!
i back you on dat one….
who hope for bad things for their brother, it happens to them first. You got so much hate in your heart. BAD BAD BAD.
DNO, how does this one makes it through to be published…SMH
This man who has written this, has made politics reduced him to nothing
Wow – what a statement! what a you a political monster? wow- you are wishing death on your fellow peeps in the name of politics? wow. Be very careful my friend lest your own judgement comes upon you.
I pray Father God will forgive you for such an ignorant statement.
true dat
ARE serious? Forget the fact that the person is a laborite. Think for a second that he/she could be a mother, father, son, daughter etc to non laborites. That he/she is a human being! Is this what this country has come to, wishing death on others because of party affiliation? Wow, I hope when your time comes you’re not uncomfortable because none of us are immune to death!
Wow how mature of you. I wonder how you feel if you found out your mother or child got hit by a truck and head got split in half…
Admin why are you all allowing such cynical blogs, this is NOT ACCEPTABLE. TOTALLY pathetic comment
Are you an A?? or something- you should be ashamed of yourself.
coming directly from you….. the Ape!!
ok thats stretching it a bit
1979 Laugh out loud
Your comment is the height of ungodliness, stupidity and lacks intelligence and common sense. You have not given this a good thought. It is wishing others harm and it is wrong. Never wish others harm. You did not consider yourself that it could happen to you and you could not only be injured but maimed for life and also die. Those who laugh last laughs best.
the way u talk, u are a selfish person. may God have mercy on you……….ahhh stupid politics,singing for your supper
i think you really confused,you just made two statements,i hope no one got hurt,then added any labourite onboard could die,you have already generalized wishing all well,i wonder how old are you,because i really want the almighty god to forgive you, due to youth fullness,i want to believe you are just a child playing with a laptop.
1979, man stop these stupid comments and grow up I wander if u teach yr children love kneel down and prayor go see a doctor. Thats why I called u LOUGAAWO THE CROOK.
I WORRY WITH NONE OF ALLU????? I ALREADY TELL ALLU WHEN I DIE THE DEVIL HAVE TO GET OFFFFF HIS THRONE IN HELL……BECAUSE I HAVE RETURNED….. GO JUDGE YOURSELVESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
*sigh* u r so troubled 1979
you are so heartless, wishing death upon someone else.
as for under that Canefield cliff in the morning. God have mercy on us. Is only God who is watching
i was in an accident as well last night but we are all fine thank god
THANK GOD U ARE FINE MY DEAR AND OTHERS AS WELL.
The driver of the van was intoxicated, not speeding. The accident occurred right before Max Mart on the Jimmit Highway. The driver of the van went off the road and hit the cement top of a culvert ripping off his front left wheel causing him to swerve into oncoming traffic and colliding head-on with the suv. Contrary to the initial report, of the 5 persons involved only the female passenger of the van was seriously injured, barring any internal injuries that wasn’t initially apparent. Please get your facts straight, and it is disappointing to see so many comments ridiculing our roads when the persons posting are completely ignorant of the circumstances surrounding the accident
Well said Ras! People driving under the infuenc and not a breathaliser in sight! The people smoking their weed and driving are not any better. All the time I hear boasting:”Dominica drivers are the best in the world!” by people , who have never left the island and I wonder “by who’s standards?” Our driving test is a joke, not to mention the instructors. Come on, we can do better. We are not attuned to driving on fast roads like the new west coast road and must also upgrade our driving. There will be more accidents if we don’t tighten up.
DA has some good roads especially today. In many cases, accidents occur through drivers’ error.
The driver of the van was intoxicated? He is a negligent driver. Surely the driver should have known better. Why do people still drink and drive or utilize illegal drugs? Which one of these caused him to go off the road and into oncoming traffic from the opposite end?
I always state if people wish to drive, do not drink. If they drink, do so only at their home and remain there until they recover and do not drive under the influence. You are exposing yourself to injury and fatality including anyone who may be in the vehicle with you.
WELL WE NEED A TEMOR HOSPITAL WITH THIS ROADDDDDDDDDDDDDD DEVELOPMENT U WILL EXPECT FAST DRIVING I PRAY gOD FOR SPEEDY RECOVERY TREMOR HOSPITAL NOT A STATE RESIDENTIAL PALACE
SKERRO STOP TAKING PEOPLE TO COURT IF U CANNOT STAND THE SCRUTINY PACK UP
WITH NO DISRESPECT I THINK YOU MEAN TRAUMA.
@ fil
I am of the same opinion.
A “tremor” hospital? Boy, you’re having the shakes already? I guess you mean “trauma” hospital but I can’t even be sure of that. Please clarify “Hospit”.
I want to know what is a ‘TREMOR’ hospital? Is a hospital for small earthquakes? Well we would be the first in the world with a hospital like that, we could cure all earthquake before they make a Tsunami….oh wait you mean Trauma….papamete well say dat nuh!
‘Irie’ pas chway moi..
I read dat 3x again and I just started laughing louder
hahahahahahahahlololololololhahahahahahahaha. Man I laffed till a gallon of tears flowed. wud be real kool to cure earfquakes before they make soonamis.
BE CAREFUL ON THE ROAD THE LIFE THAT YOU
SAVE IS YOUR OWN. TAKE YOUR TIME STOP THE
SPEEDING AND YOU WILL GET TO WHEREVER YOU
ARE GOING SAFE.
Our drivers driving as if is first time they seeing good road.Take ur time my friends you will arrive where u going. With all the speed you have when u get an accident you must stop so what is the rush
this is true if you think you are late to where you are going when you get into an accident you do not reach at all if you take your time you will be just a few seconds late
We all know that we can only be late once!
Rushing won’t change anything if we’re already running late. For goodness sake, if you don’t care about yourself, consider the other people!
LOL in “Opposition directions”? Like ‘down a blind alley’?
What is opposition direction..is this Labour and UWP..lol
An accident, and that’s what u saying! shame on you. go get a life!
This one is a tricky one. The person meant “opposite direction” or did/he she willfully state “opposition direction”.
Simply put it down to a typographical error. Sometime or the other, all of us make errors.
opposite directions.Please correct
is had a big accident wesley friday night http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv_UlKRtvKU
ok, watched the video. Picking up a lady fron the road and onto a stretcher. Any more info on this?
Thank you for this post. Was the young lady a passenger on any vehicle or was she hit by an oncoming vehicle?
was in a vehicle ,the driver ran off the road and the vehicle went straight to a electricity pole it even cut the wire supporting the pole, so far news recieved she is still in a coma, she suffered damage to her head , broken ribs, damaged lungs,dno should contact wesley police for an update and information
Please let’s b carefully for this carnival season!
Please god, guide and protect them.
Already rode not yet even done
Hope the injured persons recover from their injuries. So sad.
DNO, please give us proper name for the “van”….Is it a pickup truck – what we call a “van”, or a passenger van – what we call a “bus” ?
You spend way too much time in OUT OF DA. It is carnival GO HOME TAKE A BREAK
Likewise yourself, same to you En Ba LA
I still know that DNO would have said a bus for what we in Dominica know as a bus and van for what we call a van. Come on we have to get real here. DOMINICA I come from. going home this year. see you there. Next month to be exact will be jamming for carnival.
WOW. I hope they get better soon
I pray for their speedy recovery. Jah guidance and protection!!
oh lord cover d/ca and d/canz under your precious blood.drivers bcareful u all will reach where u all going…..
dno is only certain part of dominica all you does report from? i think your news is very bias sometimes..there was one of wesley’s best fisherman missing who’s body was sadly recovered..there is a young lady fighting for her life after a serious accident.and mamy more..come on guys people from all over d.a read the news.you better get with the times or else someone is gonna get over you
But someone has to contact DNO with such news…
I agree….Did it ever occur to some of you that you play a major part in the news we read. Do your bit or reporting and the news people will verify if need be. Cha man
Wow! I pray that everyone will have a speedy recovery. Let me caution drivers to keep to your side (left) always. The roads are tempting but they are very smooth and it is easy to lose control so exercise extreme caution while driving.
Let us all be safe in 2012, drivers and pedestrians alike. God bless Dominica, God bless us all.
@ Watching
I do hope all drivers read the news and comments on DNO’s Website. If they did, they would know to drive safely. Furthermore prior to driving they took driving lessons. Therefore why are they so negligent? Every country has its share of inconsiderate and reckless drivers who also lack road courtesy.
I do think that some drivers also lack a certain degree of common sense for they do not utilize same on the roads.
Some of them will pay the price either through their own lives and that of others or through injuries.
so sad i pray to god that they recover from their injury
lord please guide and protect them and please preserve their life
oh my .. i hope everyone remains alive
JIMMIT HIGHWAY? PLEASE HIGHWAY WHERE TWO BICYLE CAN,T EVEN PASS, MY GOODNESS DOMINICANS CALL A SPADE A SPADE IT IS JIMMIT SIDE WALK.
@ Anonyous
Are you residing overseas? If you are, you are not aware that many roads have been repaired, re-constructed and widened. This is why it is called a highway. Dominicans are not so stupid to call a narrow road a highway. Smarten up and utilize your common sense if you have any. This means to think.
FYI, The roads are very wide with dividers, light reflectors, cat eye and where it is more dangerous, safety walls and railings.
