ANR Editor. Why publish this retarded chimpanzees (post at 5.32 pm) heartless comments? I get freedom of speech and all that but this is pure, twisted hate and not the first time. Comments must be screened better or deleted otherwise the credibility of your website is going to be questioned or your advertisers may start to look elsewhere.
Condolences to the family
Young men, please slow down. One mistake can cost a life. This is heartbreaking
The outpouring of love shows how much he meant to people
The whole Dominican community in Antigua and back home grieving today
Scooters are becoming more common, but the roads aren’t getting any safer. Every fatal crash is another reminder that we’re not dealing with simple accidents, we’re dealing with preventable problems.
Saw the video of this accident! It’s apparent he was speeding with another biker, and his bike went into the gutter which caused him to lose speed. You came to another country just to lose your life? We need to do better than this as adults and as humans! Risking our lives should not be the case at all
Bring back the helmet law or at least enforce it.
Why are these people allowed to come here and reek mayhem on our streets? Antigua for Antiguans!
Was he wearing a helmet? The whole traffic law and penalties should be hastily amended, with hefty fines and jail time when caught.You put a big dent in their pocket, suspend licenses, confiscate their vehicles, along with imprisonment with our traffic police on the road seriously carrying their duties will eventually calm the seas.
All these overtaking, even around curves should be a heavily fine, am talking a $1000 plus, heavily tinted glass should be $200 per window, this can become a money making drive for the Department, while saving lives and investment.
We kept pleading for these drivers to slow down, but as you see it’s not happening, plus driving drug out or drunk is even more dangerous.
Wild and reckless behavior will cost alot of us our lives
