According to our roving reporter on the scene, the vehicle didn't seem to have come into contact with any other vehicle but ended up slamming into the utility pole.
The driver is said to be a Guyanese man. The extent of his condition is not clear; however, an ambulance is on the scene.
Officers of the Fire and Rescue Services Department are also on the scene, along with police, conducting investigations.
Traffic was backed up all the way to Prospect Reef in the direction of Road Town and all the way to the Valerie O. Thomas Community Centre in the direction of West End, however, it is flowing again due to an alternative route through Manatee Marina being utilised.
The vehicle, with number plate PE 416, did not seem to have sustained major damages.
Virgin Islands News Online will bring you further details as they are made available.
