    While I do find Bernews to be very informative and efficient in finding top-notch newsworthy stories, I do find that these road accidents allow people to leave rather silly comments. I sure many will see my point very soon……..

      Yes, they normally do attract silly comments. I personally have my coffee out waiting for them as they often amuse me! That said, I do hope the lady is okay.

    • If it is funny ,then it is funny and if by chance it is serious we take it serious, but lighten up because most accidents in this country really are caused by people who are not cautious and drive or ride dangerous.

      All in all it does make good humor for the day when some joker goes through a wall that was not bothering them and on the other hand when someone collides into a wall because the roads are slightly wet and the oil in the road is what really throws them.

      For the record today was not wet.

    I have been noticing a trend here. There have been an increasing number of accidents like this, which involves a car not only striking a wall…but actually demolishing part of the wall.

    What is going on here?

      Surely it just highlights how badly the walls have been built lol

    ….something to do with The Bermuda Triangle and foreign made cars….

    In good olde Bermudian vernacular this can only be described as, ” she failed to negotiate de corner!”

  5. Family Man says:

    That wasn’t an accident. She just got tired of waiting for her husband to widen the gate so she went out and did it for him!

  6. Nok says:

  8. Nuffin but da Truth says:

    The Bermuda Police need to prosecute these Bermuda Walls and the Courts need to impose a very heavy fine to deter other Walls from getting bored and leaping out in front of good Bermudian drivers!

    After having two bikes 9 (one with a small child on the back) overtake me on blind corners today, at least it is only a woman driving into a wall that is the accident of the day.
