Damn tourist or the black dog……………………….
100 years of ‘Heh…watch yahsalf dood………….
Looks like they were playing chicken. Taxi won!
But said taxi, should have given way.
NAH they are the AMABASSODORS of Bermuda roads. You know the ones that can do u turns anywhere they like, just pull out in front of anyone. ya them.
Taxi driver can’t read. “Give way”. Applies to taxis too.
Thank goodness he is ok. Taxi t-boned him.
Vehicles do not overturn st 22mph. Now, what could possibly be the reason?
Yes, actually they do. When they are side swiped during a turn it doesn’t take much to flip a top heavy vehicle.
The taxi should’ve given way… taxis need to slow down on Bermuda’s roads.
Speed, speed, speed, speed…I’m tired of seeing these “accidents” all over the island! I’ll say it again…slow down!!!!!!
Looking at the pictures it leads one to believe one of two things.
The van was in the wrong lane before attempting to carry on to North Shore
The van was doing way in excess of the speed limit
Look at the front bumper of the taxi , point of impact vs the position of where the taxi was at roundabout
So you can’t read either?!
