POCKWOOD POND, Tortola, VI – Three persons were rushed to Peebles Hospital earlier tonight March 11, 2016 when two vehicles collided at Pockwood Pond, on the main island of Tortola.

        @ hush up: any blind man can see this accident was a high speed collision (simply look at the impact)..... that is no "fender bender"
        the road ways throughout this territory are in very very poor condition so slow to !uck down: in most cases it is the innocent driver that usually end up under long term medical care, while the fool that is liable for the accident simply walk away without a scratch!!!!!...... the Royal Virgin Police Force need to display a greater presence on the Highways (highway patrol)

      @wise up do you have beef with the Law? Look man if you have ever travelled you will see blues on every highway yet collision happens. The truth is when we treat our rides like toys and our roads as our personal race track collision will occur. As road we must display a sense of responsibility for others at all times and stop blaming others.
