ROGUE'S BAY, Tortola, VI- Just a week after a cement truck went off a hillside in George's Northside, a cement truck toppled at Rogue's Bay on Tortola this morning, February 1, 2023.
It is unclear how the driver lost control of the heavy duty vehicle; however, the truck ended up blocking a main road at Rogue's Bay.
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) had notified the public of the road becoming inaccessible.
"The RVIPF is advising the public that due to an accident in Rogue's Bay this morning, vehicle traffic is restricted to this area," Police stated earlier today.
The driver of the cement truck was reportedly taken to Dr D. Orlando Smith Hospital and was to have escaped serious injury.

Thank God the driver is alive.
Do management take stock of how their workers operate these machinery. Not only that but they are cleaning the truck all over the place making the place look so untidy. Shame on some of them. They think they are down island. Our roads are narrow if you know what the public sees on a daily basis with these trucks and truck drivers it's only a matter of time before they run other vehicles off the road and cause a catastrophe. Fish bay seems to be the worst mind you management take stock of your businesses and warn your workers. Yes competition is great but better you take time to see the bigger picture. Who in the kitchen feels the heat warn your workers of the danger they are continuing to cause the public. Due care is needed on the roads stop playing.
Treat your workers well and they will treat you well.
