    That is why the political divide is to this extreme. It happens in all islands where by if the inhabitants of a certain district don't vote for the govt in power and everyone suffers. It is not nice at all. Then when it happens to them there and then the seek to solve or rectify the problem or situation. BVI doesn't belong to PEP ,VIP ,NDP it belong to all a we. This is 2016 we must seek to change this mentality and truly be our brother's keeper.

      What do you mean by this? What if the driver accidentally pressed the accelerator peddle as opposed to the brakes going down hill - would that the fault of government too. Let us learn the facts before casting blame on Government.

    So, every accident or mishap in the Territory is now the fault of Government even where people may be negligent? People just jump on the blogs and start writing without having knowledge of what happened in situations. This is really crazy.

    From pictures, looks like car went off to uphill side which rolled it. No brake lose, no bad road, lets put the blame where it belongs ....
