HAVER'S ESTATE, Tortola, VI- Officers of the Virgin Islands Fire and Rescue Services are currently trying to cut a man out of a crashed minibus at Haver's Estate, in the West End of Tortola.

The circumstances surrounding the accident which occurred at around 10:30pm, May 29, 2015 is unclear, however, the bus reportedly hit two utility poles. 

The driver, who apparantly was the lone occupant of the bus, is trapped on the passenger side, with the steering wheel having shifted with him and pinning him in the process. 

He remains conscious but groaning in pain as attempts are being made to free him. 

More than 45 minutes after, an ambulance is yet to arrive on the scene.
