Around 7:30 a.m. Monday on the Melvin H. Evans Highway on St. Croix, an accident occurred that left two vehicles badly damaged at the intersection near the Diageo Captain Morgan rum distillery. No one was seriously injured in the two-car collision.
One man involved in the accident, who would only identify himself as “Junior,” said an older model grey truck was traveling east and attempted to make a right turn to enter Renaissance Park, when Junior, who was traveling west, slammed into the truck. Junior said he had the right of way, as his traffic light appeared green.
Junior could be seen rubbing his left shoulder; however, he said the pain was minimal, calling it “just muscle pain.”
The VI Consortium approached the other man involved in the accident; however, he declined to speak with our reporter.
Police officers arrived on the scene just before 8 a.m. to assess the damage and receive details of the accident.
