Driver Arrested After Collision On North Shore
[Updated] Emergency services attended a collision on North Shore Road, Shelly Bay in Hamilton Parish early this morning [Feb 14], involving a van and a car.
As a result of the collision, the two vehicles involved wound up blocking both lanes, restricting any traffic from flowing on North Shore Road. Although both vehicles sustained damages, we understand no one was seriously injured. Details are limited at this time, however we will update with official information as able.
Update Feb 15, 10.24am: The police said the driver of the car — a 44 year old man — was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.
A police spokesperson said, “Police responded to a report of a two vehicle collision that took place on North Shore Road in Hamilton Parish just west on Studio Lane involving two cars on Saturday at a few minutes after 6am.
“It appears that one of the vehicles was traveling east along North Shore Road when the driver collided with a Bermuda Stone wall embankment located near the eastbound lane and flipped over and landed a few meters away. As a result, a car traveling in the opposite direction collided with that vehicle.
“The driver of the offending car, a 44 year old man, received minor facial bruises and was subsequently arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and his vehicle was a write off.
“Meantime, the driver of the other car escaped with no serious injuries and moderate damages to her car. Inquiries into this matter are on going.”

That’s not funny *** O
Another job opportunity….at the entrance to every place that sells alcohol,
everyone ordering a drink has to turn over their keys. Upon leaving the restaurant or bar they have to have a breath test before getting their keys back.
You will be giving someone a job, helping the general public from being harmed and saving someone from going to jail.
That what I’m been looking for great ideas 100% back your idea, the only problem no one drinking will get their keys back and we don’t have enough taxis to accommodate that many people
What if I took a Taxi there. What if you are walking. How do you know the keys someone gives you are really their keys to their car. God idea in principle but not going to work.
What if I go to a liquor store and buy my own.
So everyone who doesn’t get their keys back, gets to sleep on their own front or back porch. Cause they don’t have keys to get in their own house.
Actually I would usually make a joke about this also.
Not anymore.
Too much of this is happening (driving whilst intoxicated).
Many get away with it.
Slow down and call a cab; walk or ask someone from where you left (if at home stay the f.l9 there.
Shalom.
You would normally a joke of this. Glad you have come to your senses (or have you) because something like this was never funny. Least of which to the person who may not have been at falt. SMH
Most accidents occur when some drivers after about 10 Minutes of driving fall into an semi ~ hypnotic trance which is a form of day dreaming, becoming inattentive, carefree,with a loss of perspective,and judgement, this can happen to any one at any time as peoples minds can play trick on them.
Some people have even fallen asleep at the wheel because they did not think to crack open the window.
You would think that our bumpy roads would keep people alert when in fact they are a distraction .
Driving requires precision and skill and nothing short of total concentration on the task at hand.
Driving while impaired by even the smallest distraction or even the trials and torments of the day can handicap a persons ability to be in control of their vehicle and their immediate environment.
Do you have a distracting “back seat driver” nagging you ? that person should sit in the back seat, children may need a” time out”.
I have the greatest respect for our buss drivers, who, are under enormous stress drive our children home. Should we be any less competent.
You sound as though you were under the influence or lacking in concentration when you drafted this meandering opinion. There is always a cause for an accident, regardless of the circumstances.

I am perfectly entitled to my opinions, however it is unfortunate that my comments were beyond your comprehension.
