ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI - Even as the territory is under a strict COVID-19 lockdown and without the Friday rush hour traffic, one drive still managed to crash their vehicle into a curb this afternoon, April 17, 2020.

According to reports, no one was injured and officers from the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) were summoned on the scene to investigate the accident.

The majority of scooters we have on the roads are driven by kids who have no license nor understanding of the rules of the road, look at the deaths that have occurred. I have been in many near accidents due to the stupidness and arrogance of these drivers who seem to be the majority. Engage the brain please.
Secondly, look at the extent of the damage and location of the crash. The car was likely going west, at a very short distance from the roundabout. Also, consider that the road was likely empty. Now tell us the logical cause of this crash.
2. Frontline staff heading to work at the hospital nightshift
3. Yes they had a right to be on the road.
4. If it was a left hand drive she could have lost her life.
What the hell her a$$ was doing on the road? If she wasn’t an essential worker going or coming from work, that will be good for her.
If she’s not essential, she need to be charged.
A number of them on the road cannot drive. They pay for their licenses in their country & come here with it becuz it’s easier for them to get it here.
Charge her ass.
Bet it’s one of them right-hand drive sh*t they keep bringing here.
I had one the other day. I was just lucky that some thing did not sound right and I had stop to check but seeing nothing out of the ordinary. I started the car again and just as I move off the tire bowl out. Luckily only a bit of the undercarriage got damaged. If I was going 40 or 50 that would be another issue.
