The Lexus driver MUST have been speeding! There is no way that someone exiting the
CIBC parking lot could or would be traveling at a high rate of speed. It’s such a sad tale. A beautiful young lady at the tender age of thirty killed by, I suspect, another of the nation’s traffic hogs, most likely male!
Wicked people. Now he’s fine and living
Wow. I can only imagine how the family feels
Boy this rough. real rough. I feel for the family
I ma hearing that the woman who died wasn’t the driver. The driver actually fled the scene after the accident. But this is the Caribbean where people make up stories as the go along
Let’s all reflect on our driving habits. Speeding, distracted driving, and reckless behavior have serious consequences. One life lost is one too many.
