BREAKING NEWS: Two drivers injured in school bus collision in Kalinago Territory

The buses appear to have had a head-on collision
Two drivers were injured when two school buses collided in the Kalinago Territory on Tuesday afternoon.

The accident occurred in an area of the Territory called Pointe. The buses involved are from the Salybia and the Sineku schools.

One driver was trapped in one of the buses from the waist down and had to be cut out of the vehicle. He has been taken to hospital.

The fate of the students who were traveling in the buses is unknown at this time; so is the cause of the accident.

    Bag – Banday, Shut your stupid noise and get some education into your calabash, or is it because you been hanging around with those boomboom blue flies and nanny goats that allowed you to talk so much rubbish?

                 Mr. Dog Man  the name is not “Bag – Banday; ” the person (s) name is suppose to be “Bwa-Banday” which as far as I know is a patios word meaning wood-bark; the bark from a tree in Dominica.

      It is believed when the bark is dried, and boiled, and drank in the form of tea, it serves as an (aphrodisiac). In case you do not know the meaning of the word aphrodisiac, which I know you don’t!

      Say I taught you it serve the same purpose as that little blue pill Viagra you told me you use everyday oui! 

      Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah! 

      Anyway, I advised you not to use it, if you do it can cause some serious side effects that without immediate medical attention will do some serious medical damage to you, as one man experienced in the 1950’s in Roseau.

      Him drank too much oui!

    Oh lord here we go again. Hopefully everyone is ok. Sadly, the DEVIL is at work again in the Kalinago Territory. My Kalinago brothers and sisters must NOT take the JUMBIE money that is being handed out in exchange for votes. That is JUMBIE Money and the JUMBIE will want payment in return. Kick the DEVIL out with all his gifts and JUMBIE money before he establishes the curse of ‘soul payments” for the Horn and Powder voodoo ceremony performed during the red concert in the stadium. Who vex rush

    So sad. I wish everyone a speedy recovery. In reference to the driver that had to be cut out of the vehicle DNO said “He has been taken to hospital.” But the headline reads: “Two drivers injured…”. So what is the fate of the other driver? My next question is, which hospital was he transferred to, PMH or Portsmouth since these are the only two hospitals Skerrit has reduced us to with his closure of the Marigot Hospital that would be less than 5 miles away from the accident site? I know some will say why call Skerrit name in an accident. But the fact is he closed down the Marigot hospital over 5 years ago. I know Skerrit candidate Ms. Charles has withdrawn her candidacy but when I think of what PM Skerrit did to the people of Marigot and the North East, when he closed their hospital I just cannot understand why any right thinking person form Marigot or even Wesley, think of contesting an election for Skerrit. Sorry to me such candidates are not motivated by a desire to serve

    You know I am going to take the heat for this: but I must say what is in the picture is no ordinary accident,  the only way that could be is if both drivers are blind, or they were driving under the cover of darkness without their headlights on.

    I suspect that was deliberately, and not actually an accident. Now that is my expressed opinion, I do not have any factual evidence to substantiate my insinuation, just an observation!
