Collision With Minibus Kills Four Family Members
My friends, I am lost for words. It has been a rough day near Grape Hall and I am going to bed now. My faith sometimes wears very thin.
CBC News has the story and the names of the dead.

Condolences to all. Please let us try and make Barbados’ roads safer. We have now lost 10 lives; all under age 50.
How about calling for a national day of prayer?

Our prayers go out to those who suffered loss and we ask God’s mercy on those who died. May their souls rest in peace.

I am not particularly religious but I believe that here God is sending a message to the Bajans and inhabitants of Barbados that driving is not a video game. I hope they take heed.

If there ever was a sign that a country needs to heed from God, it is now. Condolences don’t even seem like enough now.

The People’s Democratic Congress expresses sincere condolences to the families, friends and loved-ones of those persons who lost their lives as a result of that very tragic vehicular accident on the West Coast of our country on Emancipation Day.
We also extend sympathy to those who were injured in this tradegy.
We also extend deepest prayers and heart-felt wishes for blessed recoveries from these harrowing experiences to not only the families, friends, loved ones, and the injured that have suffered deprivation and loss as a result of this very horrific accident, but also to the entire country which itself seems to be going through some tempestuous and turbulent times of its own.
It is truly sad and unfortunate that our country has had to experience another big, life-claiming, horrible road accident of such shocking proportions, even while it continues to mourn the loss of lives and injuries suffered to persons as a result of the tradegy that took place in St. Joseph on last Sunday.
Again, we call upon the government to declare a day of National Thanksgiving for, among other things, the lives of these precious people that that we woud have so long come to love, respect, and care so much for, for the strength and guidance and endurance that we as a Nation of people have to summon up and distribute in times of joy and in times of sorrow, and, very importantly, for all the things or not that the Almighty continues to Bless us with as a Nation of people.
Finally, two moving songs, one by Michael Jackson – which has in the words “gone too soon” – and the other by Edwin Yearwood, which we dont know the title of, but which we know was penned by him at the time of the Great Carew’s death, we humbly dedicate to the memories of those persons taken from us by those two accidents.
Peace be and amongst us!!

I sincerely sympathise with the family of loved ones lost. I knew the bus driver Morton and he was a wonderful and nice person. As for this recent accident it really breaks your heart when little children are involved.
There needs to be more care taken on our roads.But this is not being done .As a cyclist I train on the roads a lot and have had some close calls because drivers cannot wait that one second that may save theirs or someones life.
