There have also been several incidents involving vehicles overturning after drivers lost control. They have occurred despite road safety appeals from the police, the Saint Lucia Fire Service, and others. Saint Lucia has so far recorded sixteen road deaths for 2024, the latest involving a hit-and-run incident on the Mon Repos Highway on Friday that claimed the life of a  Dennery man in his twenties.
