That same location has claimed a few lives, lets hope its not one more. Best wishes to this person for a speedy recovery.
Hopefully he recovers behind bars where he belongs. Drunk driving is the reason for this accident, not the corner of the road, not the conditions. Lets stop making excuses for what is clearly a big problem in Bermuda.
Who’s making excuses? I simply reserved my comment until there were facts. Now the facts are that he was drunk. Did I think he was drunk? Yes I did, but it wasn’t my place to assume. I still hope he recovers to face the music.
People just need to slow down on that corner!!
Your worship “The shock of seeing Portugal go out of the Euro led me to have a few for the road, making me go out of town tearing like a bat out of hell on my bike and after my smackup, inconvenience half of the island leaving their jobs for home after the Police had to divert taffic to St. George’s to get to Somerset. Not guilty your Worship.”
I hate when bus stop shelters jump in front of my bike and make me spill my drink. Darn you bus stop shelters.
