ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- Traffic moved at a slow pace in the middle of rush hour in the capital city Road Town, Tortola around 5:00 P.M. this afternoon January 10, 2018.

It was the result of what appeared to be a fender bender involving a pickup truck and a small SUV. While the full details of the accident are unclear, police were on the scene investigating the incident that occurred on the James Walter Francis Drive dual carriageway going east, close to the Department of Youth Affairs and Sports building.

Stressful driving day

By all indications, no one was hurt in the afternoon accident but it contributed to the already slow traffic on the dual carriageway, close to the Treasure Isle Hotel Traffic lights, where the Water and Sewerage Department (W&SD), along with private contractors, is undertaking some sewerage works.

Motorists had a stressful day today, January 10, 2018 on the highway with the accident, plus manoeuvering the W&SD works and of course some potholes in the immediate area.
