    Again, it is dark outside and the streets are wet and slippery. Please people, use caution with your speed. I hope everyone comes out of this alright.

      Persons driving down Zion Hill towards the coast road, in particular one lady in a red SUV every morning, turn onto the coast road towards road town at Big Ben's garage without looking to see if there are any cars already on that road going to town. Near misses every day.

    It’s better to keep off the road in these conditions. Unless it is absolutely necessary stay safe at home. I pray that the person involved in the accident recovers swiftly.

    A sober person, in a well-maintained vehicle, driving the speed limit and paying due care and attention couldn't manage this.

    Probably more of the endless high beam middle of the road driving people that goes on here. Worst nighttime etiquette ever in this place!

    If that is a Chevy Colorado truck I could attest them truck is light and skid easily which the driver should know. Even on flat roads them truck will skid wet or dry so be carefully how you hold it down. You have to know how to handle a truck and especially when it is wet. I wish both drivers a speedy recovery.
