REGION – Section of road collapses in Dominica

A section of road on Dominica’s west coast community of Dublanc has collapsed, prompting calls for motorists to exercise caution when travelling in that area.

According to reports the incident occurred overnight. The affected area was cordoned off and fire services were on the scene early this morning.

The road began crumbling after the passage of Tropical Storm Erika in August last year.

Traffic has been reduced to one lane.
