      Go apply for a job digging ditches in the mean time. Digging ditches will humble your behind and teach you to keep your damn big mouth shut from talking stupidity.

    Stop rushing. You done late, you done late, nothing good comes out of rushing...This so bad, so wrong and so sad.

      Question to you is how do you know if the person was rushing or not?

        There is no way an accident of this magnitude can happen without speed involved. So avoidable. Most likely driver was not wearing seat belt either.

        Firstly, condolences to the family and friends of the person who lost their life so tragically.

        @ Lord o, you must be a special one to really ask that question! It's quite obvious that excessive speed played a role in the accident. Common sense and science will tell you that the impact would not have been so severe if the vehicle was being driven at a slow/moderate speed.

    Topic is too too Gruesome, it suggests that someone was killed by another in a collision.

    It could also read. "One deceased and others injured in a motor vehicle crash in East End"

    This guy raced to Beef Island every morning, often endangering the lives of others. It was always fun and games. Many others do the same thing. Speed kills

    If speed was a factor in this accident, the driver should be arrested. Reckless driving, manslaughter and endagement

    The driver had to be speeding. I’m sorry the guy lost his life in that manner. Speeding on messed up roads can contribute to accidents.

    You should meet them in those right hand vehicles on Sir Francis Drake highway in the mornings rushing to catch the 8:00 o’clock ferry to Jost Van Dyke. Hope they will slow down now after this tragedy. Condolences to the family of the decease and speedy recovery to the others
