ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- Reports just in from our Team of Reporters are that a truck, which was part of the National Democratic Party (NDP) motorcade, caught afire in the area of Soldier Hill, this afternoon June 7, 2015.

It is not clear how the vehicle became engulfed in flames or if anyone may have been injured.

Fire Chief Zebalon McLean confirmed that his officers had responded to reports of a fire but was unable to give further details.

The National Democratic Party has organised a huge motorcade as it makes a final push to being returned to office at the polls tomorrow, June 8, 2015.

    Another massive motorcade...Ok politics aside. The drivers showed no consideration for other persons on the road. Imagine taking dozens of vehicles through these winding narrow roads. I saw old folks who were on their to church caught in the traffic for hours.others were unable to leave their homes while others could get there. The police seemed helpless.I am glad the emergency services were not trying to reach a scene at the time. Bit of politics. If these people who organized this event did not seem to care about the average road user but only about how much followers they could attract...what consideration would they show if..........?

      Both sides had motorcades both on TORTOLA and VG. Not sure what you are trying to imply unless you are including all four motorcades.

      Are you for real? The motorcades were advertised in advance. People had plenty time to make alternate road plans. Furthermore, you are being terribly dramatic. I sat and watched the motorcade yesterday where it passed a very narrow road and the motorcade stopped and was backed up several times to allow motorists not involved to pass. Have a great Monday and don't forget to vote!

      If you see this little lady sharie interview you would include her. Snap elections are never good. You might miss out on giving this brilliant educator a chance representing the youth at a critical time in BVI history.

    The National Democratic Party need to bell their supporters. The majority of NDP supporters are too disrespectful. Can you imagine four more years with those attitudes. My God
