A two-car collision was reported on the Ebenezer Main Road on December 9. A driver and his three passengers, including a nine-year-old boy, sustained multiple injuries.
The accident, which happened near the pond, involved a jeep, A3383, owned and driven by 44-year-old Dale Thwaites of Tindale Road, and a car, A29069, owned and driven by 33-year-old Frederick Anderson of Creek Side.
Anderson, who had been heading south at about 7 pm, reportedly tried to overtake several vehicles and collided with the oncoming jeep coming towards him.
Three people - Sharon Simon, 33, Delvon Thwaites, 14, and Kevin Samuel, 9 - all of Ebenezer, along with Anderson, had to be taken to the Mount St John’s Medical Centre.

What does the L mean? Lousy Driver?
Tire tread seems to be optional because transport board never checks to see if you have any. does anyone in Antigua know when they should use the signal? put on headlights? Road Courtesy? it's a free for all out there go thing we don't have any highways. could you imagine the disasters if these jokers were allowed to drive at 70 mph? Certainly we live over the edge of sanity.

@ Texan & Close friend
Those that drive without thought for others should be penalized and stripped of their license.
The innocent always pays for the guilty. These innocent people could have had their lives snuffed out because of poor and selfish judgment.
What is the purpose of driving recklessly? What is the purpose of trying to overtake not one, not two, but three vehicles in one go?
@Close friend: If you were a good friend instead of defending his actions you should berate him for stupidity.

senseless driving
Again, I call for a decentralizing of the police in the form of satellite stations. The local police would be familiar with the area and would provide community policing as a deterrent to such callous driving as in this case.

Fed Up
no more excuses
I DO NOT PASS ON BLIND CURVES, FURTHER MORE, I DO NOT PASS MULTIPLE CARS....EVER. So while you may think I will have my day someday, I just might, but I will not be the cause of the "accident", some MORON like this guy will be. I just hope that if I am with my Son that he will not be seriously injured.
WAKE UP, SLOW DOWN, STOP MAKING EXCUSES, AND THINK!!!!!!!

Accidents are for everyone
He might have made a decicion to take over others and it caused the accident yes, but he could have not and still ended up in an accident so think twice before you talk .
I think we need to put ourselves in ppl posytion before we judge them on their mistakes.
Mr. Anderson Thank God Your alive and get well soon

Driving is not a right, it's a privilege. When you abuse the priviledge you should lose access to it.
Then some irresponsible, inconsiderate, and negligent driver comes along and decides that their own agenda means more than the safety and lives of the rest of us. To try to pass several cars on a small village roadway is just plain ignorant and wrong.
Perhaps the driver in this case ought to look at entering into the 2011 Barbados Road Rally and keep his reckless behaviour for the professional circuit and off of our public roadways. Fortunately no one died this time. This may not be the case the next time around.
