    I won’t be sympathetic. These idiots don’t know how to take their time on the road. The day they learn that shii is the less road accidents we will have

    This is really sad indeed. There’s a saying if u can drive in Dominica you can drive anywhere in the world and I believe that to be true because of the state of these roads.
    With so many winding roads and precipice you have to be a good driver to maneuver.
    Condolences to their families
