…BBM is one helluva drug…
Is it the road or some seriously misjudgement by the drivers who have had accidents on this road…… I trust the driver didn’t receive serious injures but so frightened that he/she won’t do what they did wrong again.
No, “DRIVER flips van over on Berry Hill Road” it didn’t do it by itself.
I hope the driver is ok! Man! People speed up and down that road and NEVER indicate at the junction with Point Finger Road. People double park at the Emergency entrance it’s ridiculous! We need speed cameras on that road and a camera at the Emergency entrance to ticket people who park/stop there. I will be this driver was trying to avoid someone or maybe an animal. Poor guy.
Many years ago the hospital asked the Police for radar to be used on Berry Hill Road. The Police obliged and almost all bookings were hospital staff!
Will this effect the service response time to KEMH copiers???
Maybe they should be drug tested! How do you flip a truck on straight road?? Or you simply just can’t drive!!! GDLU…
Maybe you shoul dbe drug tested, becuase the area where the accident happened, is anything but straight.
It is funny how people post things without knowing any facts surrounding the situation whatsoever.
Yeah, thats a nice video for best crane operator on You-Tube! LoL,Lol
Darn…darn! I mean up…up!!! LOL
maybe he / she just lost control of dee vehicle! yah!!!!!
@ ?…you defending your boo or are you the dumb driver…lmbo. I have seen EXACTLY where it happened and there is no reason you would flip any vehicle there unless you CANNOT drive! Or maybe the excuse is that the tires were bald…LOL…and if you knew they were, why drive in a manner that would have you in that position!??! O right…cause you thought you could drive!
I guess we all need to pay attention on Bermuda roads as some of the roads can be tricky to negotiate at times especially in wet weather!
Hope the injuries aren’t serious for the two in the van. I’d also like to thank the recovery team for providing one of the best laughs we’ve had, in the office, for yonks. Two thumbs-up!
