Comments on: Multiple Trucks Damaged In West End Collision https://bernews.com/2018/09/multiple-trucks-damaged-at-west-end-collision/ Bermuda's #1 source for 24/7 breaking news, photos & videos Wed, 15 Apr 2026 15:46:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.7.5 By: Whysky Tango Foxtrot https://bernews.com/2018/09/multiple-trucks-damaged-at-west-end-collision/#comment-4350590 Thu, 13 Sep 2018 03:50:46 +0000 http://bernews.com/?p=794604#comment-4350590 You can see in the picture looking West just how far the near side (left facing west) shrubs ,cane grass Mexican pepper and what have you is into the road …right out into it.Overgrowth is a truckers/bus drivers nightmare.
They force you out and away from the side…and when you know it is brush and you do go through it a chunk of sandstone has rolled down and nestled amoungst it…
This brush is a natural hazard (clear and present danger.)
If you calculate the cost of cutting it back to the court cost, insurance premiums (that we all have to pay), police presences and ambulance ,all that is high cost as well. Court costs…including all the process…at the end of the day count the people involved and calculate their time and what they are paidone or two thousand people were involved ,there is ongoing paperwork until and after court…and have you paid a lawyer out of pocket?
This was a three or four million dollar
accident…when a 10 thousand dollar trim could have prevented that waste !

Also good to know trucks are made of a wooden board and tinfoil, and peel open like sardine cans.

Not paying attention on how much room u have between the line. Its not the trucks that are the problem we have had bigger trucks crossing each other on tight situations and still manage its the f**king driver not paying attention

If you drive carefully, under the speed limit and stay on your side most can manage not to drive into the ocean! At our speed limit it is possible to stop quickly if say a rubbish collection truck is in the road on a blind corner. Reason we have these MAXIMUM speed limits.

I travel that stretch of road everyday to Somerset. There should be no carnage like this on our roads. It’s pure and simple speed!!

It would be easy to fix if it was just overworked truckers.

TCD needs to enforce the limits on the size of vehicles on the road.

should FIRST secure the area before taking reports from witnesses.
If an area is not secure potential other accidents/incident could occure within same area.

I hate going through there now and that’s on a bike!

Never did like those corners with that deep drop to the ocean.
