Geno is a human being like everyone else, mistakes happen as it happens to everyone. If Geno was driving an old car, it should be investigated if the car was in good driving condition. Geno was also irresponsible for driving at 4am tired and over worked. Whether he had alcohol in his blood system or not, he has to be responsible behind the car steering wheel.
The poor man Mr. Paredes was doing his job and did not provoke this deadly accident, Geno knows that most of the island is not lit , so no reason to look for excuses all over. On St.Maarten we have a culture of Caribbean people that prefer to look for excuses in every corner they can with an exception of looking at the truth and acknowledging the truth.
Geno is responsible for hitting the garbage truck and causing death to another human being, ofcourse this was an accident, but it is his fault. The ambulance that arrived late also has to be investigated, as this could also have caused Mr. Paredes to bleed to death.
As for the Medical Center, the Hospital needs to see that one is insured. Bunchie's trucking owner could have called before she came to tell them to go ahead with treatment and she was on her way with the card. The hospital is not receiving a huge subsidy from government to just accept everyone and treat everyone at a financial loss, otherwise they will deteriorate to a level that is a loss to all of us.
On the other hand, they do have the responsibilty to save a life and discuss money after with the employer. The police force needs to invest in breathelisers, and that is a fact. The French side police force already has them in use for a a few years. But when I look at the bunch of political candidates, not one of them is speaking about how they will upgrade the police force.
Not only in man power, but in tools as well. Not one candidate has ever broached the breatherliser subject.
So Flipper heads up with this blog, this has happened numerous times before with drunk drivers getting away with killing innocent people. This has also happened to our famous real estate agent Peyton Cromwell years ago as well, as he was drunk driving on the Union Road when he hit a small car driven by a Haitian National and his little girl as a passenger.
The little girl suffered serious injuries, Peyton was hauled off to spend one night in jail and later released, no breatherlisers, no proof for the police and for the justice system.
being overly tired is irresponsible behind the wheel
