It is rather disturbing at times. Wendell and I witnessed a scooter/vehicle accident early one morning. It kind of gives you a sick feeling but sadly, you can't fix stupid.

I agree jazzgal. They should be able to deliver the message to the readers without having to show such graphic photos. That photo will haunt the family for a long time.

I think similar photos used to appear in US papers but due to sensitivity, they have backed off.
Way back when, drivers education/training classes used to include some pretty gruesome pictures and videos. The idea was to get people taking the course to THINK about the consequences of being in or causing an accident.
It is a St. Maarten newspaper and apparently, it is still acceptable there. Not our call to make.
