GREAT MOUNTAIN, Tortola, VI- What seems to be not very unusual in the Virgin Islands, a vehicle was destroyed by fire on Sunday February 19, 2017 in Great Mountain.

It is unclear at this time how the fire started and whether anyone was injured in the incident that reportedly started in the morning hours.

The car was completely destroyed.

Chief Fire Officer Zebalon A. McLean was unable to give any details of the fire when contacted.

It was on February 12, 2017 that a vehicle was destroyed after it caught afire in the Pockwood Pond area, an incident reported by this news site.

According to reports reaching this news site, the vehicle was seen burning sometime around 8:30 PM. It is still not clear to this news site how the vehicle caught on fire.

In 2016 there were several incidents where vehicles burst into flames. Luckily, in none of the mishaps were persons injured.

    It is obvious you just want to talk that is why some people are sued. The burnt out vehicle, if you care to look is left hand drive. I assmed that when you mentioned"import from the internet" you meant right hand drive vehicle. Try and get a copy of the statistics of traffic accidents. You will find that there is no diffrence between RHD AND when it comes to road incidents. Most accidents occurred when people fail to do the right thing.cause accidents. By the way all of the vehicles you see on the road were imported.

    This sh**t is going to continue, because arson in the BVI is not investigated. How the hell vehicles just catch on fire with nothing done to start a fire? When these things happen, investigations should be conducted to rule out foul play.
