A van driver received an unpleasant surprise after his rear window was smashed by lumber sticking out of a passing car.

In this video circulating on social media, a car can be seen traveling in the capital with its hatchback open and a piece of wood sticking out from the back through the passenger’s window.

The inevitable happened when it passes a van stopped in traffic - taking out the back window.

The drivers of both vehicles can then be seen surveying the scene - thankfully it doesn’t look like anyone was hurt.

I agreed with them being bored UNTIL I watched the video. Then it looks like they were lazy, they could have made it a story by linking to the general pattern in the breakdown of road usage and much bigger breakdown in the systems in the country.

I didn't even see the lumber sticking out on the left. I was worried about cars traveling in the opposite direction. Who loaded that lady's car like that and what was she thinking driving off like that??? The lumber company should have refused to overload that car. If that lumber had impaled someone everyone would be jumping up and down. I hope the police throw the book at her., feel bad saying that but it's absolute stupidity.

Every system in this country is in chaos.

If the police don't do something about the misuse of our roads we are in for big problems. This is part of the crime plan, I can't believe Newbold stood up and said planning isn't important. get the small things right. They just want to fly in like Batman when the world is on the line. People are running red lights with impunity. And here's evidence of another dangerous trend, loading cars in really dangerous fashions. There's so much that needs to be addressed and the FNM take a ten week break.

Only in the Bahamas. Strangely enough, this cocked-up scene makes me a little wistful and homesick.

Then I take a sip of cappucino, do a bit of arbitrage on my position that I took yesterday, look down at the parking lot where I know my car is safe. I look to see them opening the cafe where I will eat lunch with friends and colleagues across the street. I look across the river to where my apartment building is, and thank the Christ that I am here, singing and praying "Keep it over there Lord, keep it over there!" But I do recognise home when I see it, and I love the commentary in the video.
