      People tried to help him but he refused and was acting erratic. Dude actually got out of the car and was walking around. Then he went BACK IN and lay on the ground. People helped and called the ambulance but didn't forcefully move him. Ayo quick to condemn and assume buddy

    Imagine the safari driver that contributed towards the accident didn't even stop. His / Her concern was getting the passengers back to the ship so they could go to the next job. When have we stopped being a caring society. To those that are quick to pull out a cell phone and not a helping hand, just remember KARMA, & GOD DON'T SLEEP. No one would want to see their love one in such a condition.

    How can you not know if anyone is injured when there is a 1/2 body sticking out under the car?

    How do you know thats not someone reaching in to assist a trapped person? It is NOT clear that the person on the ground is injured!

    That’s not Mayaba, That’s Meyers. Mayaba is a little further up the hill.

    Does this have to become a debate about who was laying under the car and the YADA YADA. We can obviously see someone laying on the ground halfway under the vehicle.Main thing is no one was seriously hurt or worse.

    A well rested, sober person, driving a properly maintained vehicle at the speed limit whilst paying due care and attention could not have managed this.

    Bet you that Safari van was driving in the middle of the road. In that area that's all they good for. Don't care to keep to their side of the road.

    the road is not a race track , we have pot holess everywhere , that alone should give all drivers an incentive to take your time and drive with caution , and we will always have some idiots defending these lunatics we have behind the wheel and some of them are perpetrators of driving carelessly or recklessly . i don't think anyone driving within the speed limit would overturn so easy ( and as another blogger said - alcohol and drugs has contributed to a lot of the accidents that we are seeing these days , and the police should conduct a blood test on those jokers before they kill somebody ) safety first
