The Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force (CDPF) is currently investigating a traffic collision which occurred at Coulibistrie which claimed the life of one pedestrian.
According to reports from Acting Inspector, Fixton Henderson on Sunday 13th November, 2022 about 8:10AM Donley Thomas male adult of Bense was driving his Toyota Max-x car in a southerly direction along the E.O Leblanc Highway in Coulibistrie when his car collided with pedestrian 48-year-old Marcel Toulon of Coulibistrie.
It was further reported that Toulon received multiple injuries mainly to his chest, back and extremities.
He was transported to the emergency department of the Dominica-China Friendship Hospital (DCFH) in a critical condition and subsequently admitted to the Alford ward.
“He was pronounced dead later that same evening by a medical doctor,” Henderson stated.
His body is being kept at a funeral home awaiting a post-mortem.
The CDPF expresses its sincere condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.
The driver was racing and someone lost their life in the process. Too many reckless drivers in Dominica. Justice for Marcel
All these accidents are happening and nothing is being don., am calling on the authority to put speed limits in coulibistri as a number of accidents have occurred in this community on this highway. And other areas that need speed limits to curb these accidents. Also alot of areas need speed bump signs to alert road users and especially visitors to alert them of speed bumps ahead, simply marking the road is not enough.
I said it many times before, one enters the place alive and leaves it dead. Remember that famous Eagles song: you can check out but you can never leave…..
@Martin: I don’t know you so I won’t call you cold and heartless, but your comment is cold and heartless. The person who died on the road is somebody’s child, maybe somebody’s brother, nephew, friend who may be reading this forum. The least you can do is extend condolences or say nothing at all. We’re all like Biblical flowers in the field. My condolences to the bereaved family.
Look, you do what you think is right. I do what I think is right! If you consider my comment as speaking the untruth, say so. Otherwise keep it zipped. You have too much to say for yourself on occasions.
Dominica police need to patrol the high risk area. Incest in speed cameras 📷 .more road signs that indicate dangerous driving zones .Do something and act quickly. When you give these people new quality roads they don’t know how to behave. It is a lack of respect for other road users.
