  1. Antigua. News: We already knew that. How else can a vehicle split in two like this? Mr. was faster than lightning. He has two children and a beautiful partner. It would be a shame that he dies because of recklessness. I pray for your healing.

    • Shut up with your bullshit talk. Speeding is not a mistake, Speeding is something done on purpose. Your foot don’t mistakenly go down on the gas to hit digits higher than one hundred. Imagine the bright smile on his face while send that vehicle through the streets like a private jet bout to take off. Just shut up

  4. Until drivers understand that 268 is small country and it takes less than half an hour of smart driving within the speed limit to get to the furthest points on the island,they will stay in the fast lane killing their selves and others.

  9. Speeding is a reckless behavior that not only endangers the driver but also puts everyone else on the road at risk. This boy could have killed someone coming home from work . Or even someone going to work. This avoidable incident concerning Mikhail Simmons is a reminder of the severe consequences that can arise from driving at high speeds. I feel sorry for his family. When these boys are in ICU sedated they know nothing while their mother, father, woman, women, children and friends are in agony…They need to stop the assnesss

  10. Well Antigua.news, we didn’t need rocket science to tell us that he was speeding at all. It’s obvious. For the front of his car to be on a tree and the remainder down the road is something more like a suicide mission.
