TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Scooter Driver Killed/Make That Three

Jim--yes, I call them 'suicycles'. The problem is that there is a continuous source of young men on the island, who don't seem to learn. Young people in general seem to think they are immortal.

And have no respect for the lives of other people.

Article didn't state if driver was wearing a helmet. I suspect not.

Motorcycle Accident: a new drama

A Saint-Martinois, nacio arrindell, found death last night. This is a new drama after a motorcycle accident on the territory and once again plunges a family into pain and sadness. According to the Sint Maarten Police report, this is a front shock between the victim's motorcycle and a car: " the accident took place around 21 pm near the roundabout of Cole Bay Hill. The victim who was driving on a black scooter without a license plate from the roundabout came into a frontal collision with a car. The driver of the motorcycle has found himself under the vehicle. Upon the arrival of the paramedics and firefighters, the victim did not present any sign of life ".
Since this morning, the population testifies to its emotion in particular on social networks. Daniel Gibbs, the president of the community also addressed his condolences: " another fatal road accident happened last night in the south part of our island.
I would like to express my deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the late arrindell nacio. To his family, I wish them a lot of strength in these moments of sadness. My colleagues from the territorial council and all the employees of the community, join me to address all our support, to his wife Marianne Arrindell-Joe employee of our institution, his children and to the loved ones ".

Wasn’t the driver 40, not a kid? And I read that the car was a “p” plate, 6606 or something like that, what is the relevance of that?

P is a local resident plate. Not a rental vehicle so no tourist was involved.

Eek, he was under the car. Lost the carry out food too.
