Why do I get the impression that the car in the rear was not doing 50k or less. It looks like front car was turning and back car going too fast and not paying enough attention.
I love it. Our walls badly need insurance. Big time. everywhere we go they are crumbling. Maybe I will start a new part: The sue the hell out of You Wall Party if you strike me.
One thing about driving in Bermuda, Someone’s always out there ready to kiss rear…
That damage looks like the damage I see in road accidents I see here in the States.
hope they were not hurt too badly.
“Ride like lightening–crash like thunder” I do hope no-one is seriously injured and both drivers have learnt a lesson…
Both drivers?? What if the first driver slowed down and indicated in a timely manner?! So please share with me what lesson is that driver learning?
And if the first driver did not do this, then I hope a lesson was learned.
This was an accident waiting to happen. Too many people parked there on the yellow line to buy fish. You have a car on that side and one on the opposite side, making it a hazzard to try and get thru. So whose fault would it be, if the grey car was parked on the yellow line, and the black car (speeding) hit it from the back?
Absolutely agree! I pass there everyday, and there are always cars parked (not close to the wall either), cars/ bikes turning into the dock without indicating, pulling out without stopping to see whos coming. I knew this would happen eventually. They need to police this area better.
I do agree, this spot has been an accident waiting to happen, with the way cars park there. However, looking at the extent of the damage to both cars, had the driver of the 2nd car been paying attention, exercising some common sense and road safety care, I am quite certain this could have been avoided. For a curved stretch, it does allow for enough visibility that if you are paying attention when you are coming into it, you can easily see potential accidents and have time to react to avoid them.
if that black or blue car wasn’t driving too close it would not have received damage at all.
Know what happened before you comment on the black car and how they were driving! It might have been the sliver car at fault..
Hi Sally, Even if the silver car was reversing onto the road the dark coloured car should be attentive enough to slow down, sound its horn and wait for such a dangerous manoeuvre to be completed or stopped. Nobody drives defensively in Bermuda its all ……me-me-me, I’m first and most important…. bunch of spoiled babies! That’s most likely the cause which ever driver was ‘technically’ in the wrong. Nobody has the right to crash into another car just because its doing something wrong or being operated contrary to traffic laws.
I heard that the previous government didn’t like so many people going to jail because they couldn’t pay their fines, so they told the police not to book people for speeding… That is why the speeds have gone up so much on the roads in Bermuda
Goes to show that you shouldn’t go around repeating to random ramblings without first checking your facts…
I hope everyone is okay. This type of problem should be alleviated once the container dock is moved to this neighborhood.
hope they were booked for due care
Maybe the grey/blue car was reversing into the street into the path of the oncoming black car. Seen it happen many times before at that dock.
the real meaning of bumper to bumper traffic smh
