OMGo sorry to hear that man. I saw the article this morning but after reading it I didn’t realize the persons on board were our national players because of the police information that was so bad. But is only later I realized Raymond Casimir, is former Dominica and Windward Island cricketer Ray Casimir of Dublanc, the brother of Shane Shillingford and Jennifer Nanthan of Portsmouth, a former national netballer. I don’t quite know who Kyla Winston is but that news is very sad and I pray for all of them and ask God to cover them.
Wrong info,Jennifer is roseau,former National netball player,kyla is her daughter and also plays netball
our roads need guard rails. Its one thing to pay attention to how you are driving it is another thing if you have lost control of the vehicle. Our roads need to made safer. Guard rails, rumble strips on the edges of the roads, proper lighting and wide enough roads to that there is a lane that people can safely pull over on if they need to stop. I see people parking within 10 feet of corners or just stopping in the middle of the road whenever they want. Standards Dominica we need standards and leave the “well so it is” attitude alone. it is so because we make it so. Also we pay taxes for road safety and maintenance. Yet, i see business as usual. only when elections of a celebration involving diaspora do our roads get attention.
According to reports, the roads never moved or change places. Driver lose control of his vehicle and the engine took over. If you feel tired and exhausted don’t drive.
