    They need to prohibit parking and stopping on Joseph Lane at particular times in the day. And also make it one way at times of the day. It is narrow and never had so much activity as now. It is a Lane. Not a main road.

    Some of our road users are just careless. Poor child didn’t deserve this.

    I wonder if the driver saw that child? To be so cold that you drove off? Perhaps he didnt see her

    Honestly, incidents like this make you nervous just walking around town. The driver has a duty of care, and if that was ignored, legal action is right. Parents shouldn’t have to fight to keep their kids safe.

    More time my mind wonders about these careless bus drivers we have around the place. They often drive as if the road is there’s alone! Now to the point of injuring a child and not caring? Calling on the Antigua and Barbuda Transport Board to look into the drivers they give bus license to. Cause everything is just a danger waiting to happen
