PASEA ESTATE, Tortola, VI- The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) has said it is investigating a hit and run collision that occurred after 8:00 PM on Thursday, February 19, 2026, in the vicinity of Delta Gas Station in Pasea Estate.

Police, in a press release today, February 20, 2026, said preliminary information suggests that a female pedestrian was crossing the eastbound lane of the roadway when she was struck by a vehicle travelling from west to east.

The driver reportedly attempted to brake but was unable to avoid the collision.

According to the RVIPF, the impact caused the pedestrian to be thrown into the air before landing on the roadway. "The vehicle failed to stop at the scene and fled immediately after the collision," the RVIPF stated.

Condition of injured woman 'unknown'

Emergency Medical Services responded promptly and transported the injured pedestrian to Dr. Orlando Smith hospital for medical treatment.

Police said her condition is currently unknown.

The RVIPF is appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who may have information that could assist in investigation, identifying the vehicle or driver involved to contact the RVIPF Intelligence Unit at 368-9339 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 800-8477 (TIPS).

      KEEP OFF OF TOLIANS. THAT’S THE WICKED, WORTHLESS SH** U ALL FOREIGNERS ACCUSTOM OF DOING WHERE U ALL COME FROM.
      U ALL DRIVE FAST LIKE A SET OF IDIOTS, RUN DOWN PEOPLE AND THEN LEAVE THE SCENE.
      ON ANOTHER NOTE, SOME PEOPLE CROSS THE ROADS CARELESSLY WITHOUT USING THEIR COMMON SENSE.
      IT WAS 8:00 AT NIGHT SO SHE WOULD HAVE HAD TO SEE THE CAR LIGHTS, UNLESS SHE CROSSED ON A BLIND CORNER WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY FOOLISH.
      PEDESTRIANS NEED TO BE MORE ALERT AND PUT THEIR SAFETY FIRST.

        Speedy recovery to that lady and pray whoever hits her is found
        At the same time when crossing on the cross walk people need to be very vigilant as some people do not stop even if the light is red

      Even on the cross walk they want to run you down. The cross walk is where most drivers speed. They know they are approaching a cross walk but its like they were told to pick up speed then especially the one by UMI fashion and Clovers. Some real crazy drivers out there. Never see come see i call them.

    This so-called drive shows selfish, disgusting behavior and complete disregard for the pedestrians' well-being. The s--called driver probably drove away because they were either driving an uninsured vehicle or without a license and out to save their own skin, as it happens so often here. Somebody knows who did this and should do the right thing and come forward.

    Many of you driving didn’t go through with the process of getting a bvi license .Many of you bought your license and don’t know how to drive with due care and attention. The speed limit in that area is 20mph but many of you wants to drive at 60mph with no consideration for other road users. It maybe someone who doesn’t have a license. I hope the law do it’s work and bring that owner or driver to justice.

    This is terrible news. I tell so many young people you have to drive your vehicle that if something suddenly happens or appears in front of you, you will be able to stop your vehicle. It is sad that someone would run somebody over in a small community like this and leave them to die in the middle of the Highway. What is happening to us? The Bible says in the last days men's heart will wax cold and that is definitely what we are seeing. I pray that the Police put the time and energy in to search the cameras around this area and capture and prosecute this person when found. You cannot worry about yourself when you could have killed someone. I pray, Jehovah Rapha, for the victim of this hit and run. Please lift her up from her sick bed. El Shaddai, we thank you for answered prayers.

      First of all I pray for a speedy and healthy recovery to the injured lady.

      You are an idiot of the highest caliber! You are also xenophobic with that slow comment black/white. Did the driver stop to see if he or she is fine or to call 911 ? This is not about who is wrong or right but about human decency. Hit and run maybe the norm in the rest of the world but it should never be tolerated in the BVI! Someone could have died, this lady may well have injuries that could plague her for the rest of her life and you chatting some crap about laws of the highway? Is there a flyover? Is there another way to get from one side of the highway to the other? I oftentimes see tourists scurrying for their lives across that highway. If this driver did not have a license or insurance then your is even more the irrelevant.

    These types of incidents only happen in this territory!

    In the US Virgin Islands, try, and run someone over on a pedestrian cross walk!

    Instant riches for the victim, in the massive amounts of lawsuits!

    PEDESTRIANS, ALWAYS, HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY, REGARDLESS OF HIGHWAY, OR SIDESTREET!

    Police officers have been known here to stop vehicles on the highway to allow for the safe passage of pedestrians!

    No human body can compete with the 4000 pound tonnage of a car!

    This country MUST DO MORE, to educate motorists on the rights of pedestrians!

    You mean, this, is not such a thing in this land?

    SHAME,SHAME, SHAME!!!

    People cross the street quite casually here. Taking their cool time, crossing wherever they feel like, not looking both ways before crossing, crossing with their heads down or in their own little world while crossing. I’m honestly surprised they don’t get run over more often.

    @Maria as an adult you don't cross when you see cars in motion on a highway. She tried to beat the speed of the driver and guess wrong about the timing. It's nothing wrong with people commenting what they have in their mind, who r u to talk about other people's comments. It called summit comment so no matter what the comments are it's a comment. If you had sense the first question is why did she cross when she say a car coming. I cross the street terrible but at my out caution and that's what she did.

    I see even some animals wait until it is safe to cross the road.
    Also note all drivers must be very careful with children on the road and pedestrians on the cross walks.

    Well we can narrow the suspect down to a local FOOL. Cause only an IDIOT would flee the scene of a hit and run. If she dies its manslaughter dummy. But if you stayed and assisted then its just an accident.
