The traffic fatality count in the nation's second city was pushed to three over the weekend, when a 19-year-old male resident of Freeport, Grand Bahama, succumbed to his injuries following an early morning smash-up on Queen's Highway.

According to official police reports, around 5.20 a.m., Ed Forbes Jr. was driving his brown 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe jeep in the area of Hanna Church of God when he collided with a black 2002 Dodge Neon, driven by 36-year-old Janeice Taylor.

Both vehicles were reportedly traveling east, when Forbes attempted to overtake Taylor and collided into the rear right side of her vehicle. But as Forbes was reportedly traveling at "high-speed" he was said to have lost control of his car and crashed into the west side of a home owned by Judy Grant. Forbes reportedly succumbed to his injuries at the scene. No one else was seriously injured.

My question is this:

They say his car hit her rear right side, so did she attempt to turn, did she move slightly over into the middle of the road while he was overtaking, or did he just turn his vehicle too late when beginning to overtake.

Thats what I would like to know. In other words, did she actually cause the accident, or did he. Its a tragedy and a young man lost his life, but questions need to be asked whenever anyone dies.

Even though I saw the account on tv, I think that he was too close up to her, and when she slowed down, he swerved to avoid her, still hitting her in the process and loosing control.

I am very surprised that this doesnt happen more often. Driving in Grand bahama is very dangerous, I dont exagerate when I say that is almost every day that I avoid an accident driving in GBI.
