Very fortunate no one was injured! The photo looks nasty.

I often wonder how long the cruise ships will book their passengers on Safari buses for tours, considering the safety factor..dont know if this was a private tour or a ship sanctioned one but the lines attorneys must get nervous when these things happen. Glad no one was hurt.

I would sooner ride in our 45-year-old car than one of those things!

(Sad) to say... I've owned $300 cars older than 1974'ish.... but that's another world

Cattle cars are part of the fun of the island
We all know accidents happen.... sad, but true

Wondering... if this one was swamped by salt water during Irma... could explain some....
Stateside - I think most vehicles "tempered" by storm-water... would be a writeoff
... for this exact reason....
