    A Kia soul as usual. I'm not surprised, because people have been driving like some idiots for the past few weeks. Sad to say, but more accident like these will happen, especially like how carnival is approaching. Simon want your blood.

    I wish a fast recovery for all injured. This island is only so big. I see people racing daily, not staying in their lanes, using bad driving decisions, and for what? They fly around me because I am driving at a safe speed. but it is too slow for them. I wind up behind them anyway because traffic slows up, so they are not getting to their destinations any quicker. Please stop tailgating, you are not making a driver drive faster. USE SOME COMMON SENSE!

    I was down that side last week. The roads are bad all over Tola. What I notice though is that when the bad spots are on the left, some motorists take a chance and cross over to the right (especially if there’s no other vehicle coming). However, some motorists knowing full well that the other driver is trying to avoid the bad spots and are driving on the right literally, still keep driving instead of waiting for the other driver to come clear. Set of wicked people.

    I’ve seen vehicles narrowly escaped collisions because of this. Knowing how the roads are, we motorists should be willing to give way sometimes, even when we have the right of way.
    Not saying all accidents are caused this way at all.

    I hope those involved in this accident are ok.

    These Kia Soul are becoming worst than the bikes. A similar colour one overtake me around the corner at Patesyina the other day.
