BAUGHERS BAY, Tortola, VI - Information coming into Virgin Islands News Online (VINO) is that a motorcyclist was seriously injured in an accident at the Baughers Bay area of Tortola, sometime after 8:00 pm tonight, Friday, November 12, 2021.

Sources told our newsroom that the man was seen lying in a pool of blood at the scene of the accident and apparently sustained a gaping wound to his leg. 

Paramedics arrived shortly after the accident to treat the individual and take him to Dr D. Orlando Smith Hospital. 

It remains unclear the cause of the accident or if anyone else was injured, however, the incident reportedly caused a backup of traffic in the area. 

Our news centre will bring more information as it becomes available.

    I really hope this young man heals. These accidents are so unnecessary with them today alone, dodging in and out of traffic, speeding, going through red lights. If I can see all of this, why can't the police? I told my friend today that one of them is going to go flying and tear their skin off on the pavement. Wake up young people on these bikes, you are scaring we motorists to death and causing your own deaths. SMH!

      They are having fun .Enjoying their life. They have, consisentl demonstrated the fact that they have no intention of doing otherwise. Their behaviour has been encouraged by members of the elected Government and they voted and promises are being kept.. Soooo as long as an innocent and a non participant is not injured nor killed, I minding my business..
      And if these halfway so call men are delighted in their self inflicted death journey I delighted for them. We should all be so lucky to be living our best life..

      The police see it but they should not further endanger lifes by racing to cath them. Do you remember what happen t Food and the other one. Catching them is putting more of us in trouble

    Regularly see these guys without helmets on dangerously overtaking POLICE CARS and passing the Police Station in town and out East. The Police do nothing. This is just encouraging lawlessness. As we see it frequently is not ending well and an unecessary burden on our overstretched NHI and tax payers money. Let's hope the NHI and money at least get the person stitched back together and back on the roads again.

    It would be great to launch a community "Safety Awareness" initiative for young persons to take heed. The program can include real accounts from Doctors and Nurses that deal with accident emergency patients. The can account the graphic nature of injuries and the long-term effect of some of these injuries on persons. The cost to the community via NHI can be addressed as well as other testimonials. It may bring awareness and curb behavior. Worth a try before scooter riders kill an innocent on the road.

      This teeny bitty Island with a segment population of like minded bikers and all of them from a specific demographic know more snd have first hand knowledge and experience about,death ,dying and accidents resulting from bike riding than anybody..Spilling their blood on,the public road with their body parts mangledand dangling is their strange mindset . I am curious to know if there is a parental pattern of child raising that contributes to the making of these warped minds. diet , country of origin,economic
      apart from the,obvious, which includes gender, is there a common factor contributing to this behavioural anomaly.

    People for God sake . The Police can never do it alone it is impossible. Now can I ask, where is the MOTHER, FATHER, STEP FATHER, STEP MOTHER, UNCLE, AUNTY, GOD FATHER, GOD MOTHER AND SO CALL FRIENDS.
    Now what about the BIKE RIDERS THEMSELVES. Come on now. If the Police chase them and as a result they crash resulting in injury or death to themselves or another it is going to be something else. So what will you like the officers to do apart from what they are doing presently.
    Give some constructive criticism. Let's hear you.

    Scooter riders simply need to communicate better, that will be a big help, just give us time to see you and have an idea of your next move. Use hand signals, horns, eye contact.
