HARRIGAN’S ESTATE, Tortola, VI- Two vehicles said to be travelling in opposite directions along the main road in Harrigan’s Estate, on the main island of Tortola, collided last evening May 27, 2016 resulting in a number of persons being taken to hospital.

When this news site arrived on the scene at around 8:20 pm, ranks of the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) were carrying out their investigations and questioning the persons concerned with each of the vehicles involved in the accident.

One officer confirmed that an ambulance had minutes before left the scene with injured persons en route to Peebles Hospital.

A female rank said she was part of a unit which was passing at the time and saw the accident scene with other officers already present and they stopped to render assistance.

    More bad driving ends in accidents. If we respected the traffic laws and if they were enforced, there'd be fewer accidents and less people in the hospital.

    The Harrigan road is a disgrace, crumbled to one lane, soon residents might have to fly home. I often come head to head with traffic, in 30years i cant recall any maintenance at all.
