Another dumb idea brought to you courtesy of the people who have no idea how an EMS system should function.

RIP to this man, and I sympathize with the family on losing their loved one, especially during what it supposed to be a festive season. However, this needs to be cautionary tale to pedestrians, a lot of these accidents can be avoided it people would be cautious and aware when walking on the road. I have seen so many people walking as though they have the right of way in the road.
There also needs to be clearly marked pedestrian crossings so that persons will have a safe space to cross. And motorists need to be educated and made aware of the fact that they are expected to allow a pedestrian on a crossing to cross.
All factors to consider...

Another tragic and unnecessary death that could have been avoided by wearing a life vest. For less than $50 a mother would not be crying, I don't know when these people will learn. A helmet saves a life on motorcycles and life vest on a jet ski.

I do not know how many of these tragic industrial accidents have to happen before we get proper oversight. I have seen so many work sites where the workers are not wearing hardhats, safety glasses or steel toed boots- which is the basic in safety gear. They are often working at heights with no fall protection harness.
SMH, we really need a government entity similar to OSHA who can be responsible for ensuring these workplaces are compliant with safety standards.

Cause depending on the case, the accused has a constitutional right to receive their day in court. One could argue that requires them to be in actual court. Further they also have the right to face their accuser and mount a defense against charges.

Truth is, they just need to stop driving the prison bus like the streets are a video game and everyone has a 2nd life should they crash.

Please show where the road traffic laws have provisions for vehicles with lights and sirens. Unless it was recently added, our road traffic laws have no provisions for emergency vehicles.

My thoughts exactly, cause with proper inspection and maintenance they would have discovered the corrosion. And this could have been addressed and therefore prevent this entire situation.

The reason I stopped feeling sorry, is because these are the same issues that have been issues for YEARS. Yet when it's election time, the residents do not hold these politicians accountable for what they did in the 4yrs they were in power.
Pray tell me, why if your MP has done nothing in 4yrs, do yinna keep voting them back in. WTF...it makes no sense.

This is not the first accident involving a prison bus carrying prisoners. The time before they crashed into the wall at the Mackey and Shirley Streets junction. They will no heed warnings until it becomes a catastrophic amount of fatalities.
Smdh...

"the salt there would have corroded that over time, and so it eventually gave way due to the tension and plus the strong winds"
They don't inspect these poles annually for corrosion, or ya'll just wait until they fall in the road and pose harm to someone? Cause please help me to understand how this man could even think that he should say something like this. It implies that no inspections are done to ensure the poles are not corroded. SMH!!
