Was it the accident on the highway in the vicinity of Freeport on Sunday afternoon? I’m asking because a green Baleno vehicle crossed the median whilst heading north and crashed head on into my brother’s vehicle heading south nearly killing him. Not sure why there is such secrecy around the accident.
I’m really sorry to hear that and hope Justice is served there and that your brother makes a full and speedy recovery.
So far, sources suggest that was not how David John-Williams got injured. But I’m as wary of the secrecy as you are.
Lasana Liburd thankfully, he is recovering in hospital. He’s alive praise God.
Well of course stupidity isn’t life threatening ♂️
It is my sincere wish that David recovers from this accident. Health of the body and mind are the top priorities behind, the soul’s; and I wish DJW the best in all three!
Speedy Recovery Sir.
Hmph very mysterious
I am devastated!
Get well soon
