Truck hits light pole in latest major road smash
(CNS): Police are looking for witnesses to the latest serious collision on local roads, which happened at around 11:30 Saturday night on the Esterly Tibbetts Highway near Lakeside apartments. The crash involved a Ford Edge and a Ford pick-up truck, which ended up on its side, having smashed into a CUC pole. The driver of the truck, a 27-year-old man from George Town, was arrested on suspicion of DUI and taken into police custody.
The Ford driver was taken to hospital and released after treatment.
The incident is under investigation and anyone with information should call the Traffic Management Unit at 649-6254.
Too many people drive like maniacs on our roads. Their terrible driving is inescapable as riding a bike – or even walking – is far more dangerous than driving a car. I’m considering purchasing a cement truck to use for my daily commute. Sure, the gas mileage will be awful, but so what, at least I’ll feel a lot safer on the road.
Does “near Lakeside” mean “in the course of executing an illegal turn” such as the one I witnessed by a taxi van on Monday evening around 5:45 pm?
Like moths to a light bulb, fatally attracted to light poles!
Thought the road was supposed to be shut Saturday?
They just wanted one last smashup first.
Sunday. Open Saturday.
Jamaican drivers…..
Drivers who don’t understand how to operate a vehicle more like it don’t make this a racist matter.
