ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- Five vehicles received damages when a taxi driver somehow managed to lose control of his automobile on Main Street, close to Harney’s in the wee hours of June 26, 2020.
According to reports reaching our newsroom, around 12:05AM a red taxi bus was heading in the direction of Dr D. Orlando Smith Hospital in the area of Harney’s when it brushed the rear left side of a parked red Mini Cooper.
The driver, in allegedly “trying to correct the situation”, swerved right but ended up hitting a parked Voxy mini-van, knocking off its front bumper, before slamming into the back of a parked silver Hyundai Tucson, causing the Tucson to hit into a parked silver Subaru vehicle.
The taxi driver reportedly told persons on the scene he was trying to avoid hitting two dogs when the mishap occurred.
Police were summoned to the scene and reportedly took the driver to Dr D. Orlando Smith Hospital to conduct a blood test.

I am shocked is only 2 dogs he saw. I mean....how fast you think he was going to swerve and do all that damage versus pumping the brakes?
I would also admit I also broke curfew that night. I went to the bar to have a few drinks myself to get away from my nagging wife. I also seen dude putting away a few drinks and plastered when they left the bar. I will say, some of you wives or girlfriend drive the men to run to the bars and drink because of your constant nagging and speculations.
