    I know him. His face hott. So is his foot. He drives that car really fast. I hope he pulls through. No one should die before their time

    You had to be speeding to end up there. Mr always going fast with that car. If this isn’t the car Tiffany Ryan use to drive then I am correct to say he was always speeding. This dude was always up at the airport where the old liat office would be racing with other guys. I hope he pulls through

    My question is, did you put it there? Why are we like this in this country? 🤔 Accidents and deaths have been happening long before the road was even fixed. So even if there’s a deeper issue, we still need to take proper precautions when driving… SMH.

    Driving at 40/50/60 miles per hour can never result in such damage. That person had to be going at a significant speed.
    I wish them the best

    It’s not a race out there. Life is not need for speed. There’s a race track designed for these purposes. Let’s stop using the road as if it’s a race track. Putting our lives and others at risk!

    These drivers never learn to take their time when driving. They just see an opened and smooth road and decide to be Brian O’Conner, Dominic Toretto and the rest of the Fast and Furious Crew.

    That airport road is blighted like frairs hill road. Are we sure there isn’t a deep rooted issue at play?
