Oops! Small backhoe falls into water @ Nanny Cay Project site
When this news site visited the work site, one of the project supervisors confirmed that the machine had fallen into the water.
Reminding our reporter that he was standing in a restricted zone, the man said the machine had sunk to the bottom and extracting it would not be possible before tomorrow June 9, 2016.
It is not clear exactly how the machine fell into the water and there were no reports of injuries.
“It’s in the water. We wouldn't be taking it out until tomorrow. You won’t be able to see it as it is underneath the water. It is just a small machine. We will get it out...lucky it is not in the deep water,” the man said.
Virgin Islands News Online understands that the backhoe belongs to Autley Crabbe of Autland Heavy Equipment.
General Manager of Nanny Cay Miles Sutherland-Pilch had confirmed that the Nanny Cay development project is forging ahead and completion of the undertaking is likely to be before the end of 2016.
However, concerning environmental issues that had led to the Conservation and Fisheries Department placing a halt on the development, Sutherland-Pilch had said in January of this year that those issues were still being resolved.
