So sorry for the loss of lives in this tragic accident. I do not know the circumstances, but I am appealing to all Grenadian drivers to slow down on the speed that they drive at. We are a small island with small curved roads. Leave early to go where you are going and DO NOT speed. At the end of the day you are still in Grenada , Why are you speeding? Speeding does not make you a better driver. The race is not for the fastest but for the safeties. I come to Grenada often enough and unless I have my husband or a few selective drivers , I am not going anywhere. Stop being a show off. when people complement you about being a good driver make sure this is so that you are a safe driver. A word to the wise is sufficient.
