    Wish her a speedy recovery. Many times I see drivers who fail to check their mirrors when reversing. I'm not saying this was the case, but both drivers and pedestrians need to be alert.

      What should I refer to you as. It was actually a left handed vehicle so what's your point? Hating on our brother and sisters for the rest of the Islands.

      You think your comment make sense? The roads are built for the right hands vehicles, We are of a British colony. If anything is to band is the left hands vehicles. Most accidents are with the LHD vehicles. Chill out. Someone was hurt and hear your comment. STRUPEZ.

    If you had any sense you would know that the vehicles with the steering on the right should be the ones driven here since we drive on the left. The "down island people" got it right. We trying to be Americans with the left hand drive vehicles. Get sense and stop being ignorant and bashing people.

    The driver was a police officer, and his vehicle tinted out at the back speakers well stack up he can't see anything behind his vehicle but yet the reporter fail to mention all this. The laws is for some people and everyone in the BVI. So many police I. The BVI but yet none was available to come on the seen.

    The driver of the vehicle is a police officer, vehicle tinted out and have speaker at the back so he can't see anything at the back. But yet he claim he's right. Reporter failed to mention that there was on other police on the seen. It was an accident but yet the law doesn't work for other people.
