    Peoples lack of compassion simply amazes me. Triangle drifter get your facts right before you judge and the upside down and round and round comment. How about kind words to those who may have been injured. What has Bermuda come to, REALLY. Oh, my grandmother was in the front seat with a seat belt. You people simply disgust me.

    • Necromonger says:

    • 1minute says:

      According to the police report – no one was injured… so what are they healing from?

    • Oh no says:

      Hope everyone is ok now and prayers for you and your family.

    • marisa the magican says:

      its human nature to laugh at others people’s misery so please just take it down a notch

    • real winner says:

    • fgh says:

      No injuries.

  13. Doug says:

    uhm… wow

  14. Sick of the Injustice by the Courts!! says:

    How in de hell did that happen!??! My lawd

  15. Jes sayin says:

    It appears from the photo that the car was driving along Berry Road, smashed through a wall and dropped down into the parking lot below (that’s when it would’ve flipped). Yes, it does look like a car seat in the back. Hope everyone is ok!

  16. Tuba 2 says:

    That looks like a parking job by Lewis Hamilton.

  17. Triangle Drifter says:

    In a place where the speed limit is supposedly 20mph how in the world do you manage to go through a wall & flip a car like that?

    I am sure it is all the cars fault but better check the drivers cellphone records anyway.

  18. I gotta be me says:

    I live on BH Road. People speed up and down that road all day and night. Additionally, there are always people stopped in their cars to chat, double parked etc especially at that corner of the hospital. The whole road should be CCTVd, it’s an AMBULANCE ZONE! I have seen ambulances have to wait to get in/get out of the hospital because other people are blocking the road. I wonder if this car was trying to get out of the way for an ambulance and then tried to avoid another vehicle illegally parked or speeding up the hill!

  19. ALL WRONG says:

    You are ALL WRONG – why not try compassion before judgement! Hopefully one day it’s not your family member. I am sure Parkside and 42 guys would have more compassion that most of you – now we can see why Bermuda has changed so much, it’s people like most of you! Before when one hurt, all hurt. Now when one hurts, all judge!!!!!

  20. Oh no says:

    Oh no hope everyone is ok. Prayers and thoughs with the injured and the family at this time. Praying for a quick recovery for everyone.

  21. Pastor Syl says:

    Having flipped a car on its roof before, I know the fear, anguish, and prayers that go through one’s mind on the way down. My heart and prayers go out to the occupants (and any others who might have been hurt).

  22. US Observer says:

    First, I hope the passenger(s) are ok and will recover. The road looks like a sheet of glass if you ask me. Regardless of what happened or how it happened…please slow down!!

  23. That Guy says:

    A 72 yr old man who should be on the bus to begin with and a woman… what you expect she probably panicked hit the gas or froze up (either or) and his reactions are the speed of a turtle

  24. My two cents says:

    The amount of cars that flip over and hit walls on an island with such a slow speed limit is insane. Not sure how this happenes, but hope all involved are okay. One thing I would like to say is if a person knocks down a public or private wall because of speeding and reckless driving(not saying this is what happened here), they should have to personally pay to fix these walls, not taxpayers and not individuals.

    • Triangle Drifter says:

      Thats what insurance is for

    • walls says:

      yeah agree way too many people drive beyond their abilities flipping their cars and going through walls! Every week at least one wall is knocked down, some pretty bad drivers out there!
