“After I heard the loud bang, the man topple like two time and landed on the top,” he said.

The eyewitness said that he and others immediately rushed to the scene and assisted in freeing the driver who was trapped in the car. “He good though, we helped him out and they took him to the hospital. Nothing serious aint happen to him,” he explained.

The ambulance was quick on the scene followed by Police officers from the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF).

    Yes this guy was surely speeding hope he learns a lesson he may have not lived to see the new year..... What about those guys with the illegal bikes on the road stopping traffic for miles while they burn out on the road spiting stone and pebbles in all direction performing stunts...and don't care about other pedestrians and vehicles on the road...what are the police doing about this...innocent people could get hurt..it looks nice but could hurt themselves and others in the process.

    that's pretty hard to do considering the round-about is only about 10-20 miles an hour. How did they DO that?
