SEA COWS BAY, Tortola, VI – The lone driver of a small white car reportedly lost control of his vehicle and drove into a ditch at Sea Cows Bay, in the vicinity of the Valerie O. Thomas Community Centre this morning Saturday, October 2, 2021, at around 1:00 am.

Eyewitnesses reported that the driver of Filipino descent appeared intoxicated at the time of the accident.

It is unclear whether he sustained any injuries, however, sources reported that the vehicle received minor damages as a result of the crash. 

Shortly after 1:00 am, a local towing company was preparing to pull the vehicle out of the ditch.

Virgin Islands News Online (VINO) will bring more details as it becomes available.

    Maybe each rental car should also have permanent licensed driver.

    how is nationality relevant to the story?
    • @guest (02/10/2021, 11:42) Like (2) Dislike (7) Reply
      it’s relevant to include because it’s useful for the community to know. If a certain group commonly gets into problems we will know it’s a trend.

        So say for example that members of the black community are regularly being arrested for drug dealing, the report should clearly state that as a relevant factor? Do you not see a slight problem with that?

    Maybe it would be wise for all establishment to close at least 30 minutes before curfew perhaps this would help persons to drive at a much slower pace. We have another 14 days to live with the curfew.
    Let's try to stay safe
