    • Listen right? If I wake up and hear one other person die as a result of a traffic accident I’m leaving Antigua and loving to another country. Is this some kind of joke?

    • A heartbreaking situation. Popeshead Street has seen its share of serious collisions, and each one is a reminder of just how quickly things can turn tragic. Hopefully the investigation brings clarity, and more importantly, prompts a renewed push for safer driving and better traffic management in that corridor.
