    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

    Came quite close to killing the person child and your only thought was to drive off?? These bus drivers are a disgrace to the race honestly.

    Death by dangerous driving is so common. This mother should be happy her daughter is alive

  • Tromos October 15, 2025, 1:57 AM

  • Leah October 14, 2025, 10:17 PM

    Drama and lawsuit threats aside…I am rejoicing that this child isnt dead. This story could have gone south

    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.

  • Laila's October 14, 2025, 7:54 PM

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

  • Dark Chocolate October 14, 2025, 7:36 PM

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

  • Concerned Antiguan October 14, 2025, 7:35 PM

    God is good. I wish her a speedy recovery.

  • Frank October 14, 2025, 7:28 PM

    The way she said he sent my daughter flying. Lol. This isnt a joke but ma’am some drivers dont give a shit. They splash you with water when it rains and wonr even stop. Hope you get justice

  • Naomi October 14, 2025, 7:23 PM

    I dont think nobody can park on jiseph but that bus driver out of place..he was driving away? What he thought he hit a dog?

  • Concerned for Safety October 14, 2025, 7:06 PM

    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.
