THE HIGH NUMBER of vehicular accidents on the road is creating a massive headache for the Royal Barbados Police Force.

Yesterday alone, there were several crashes in various parts of the island, including one involving a minibus and a flatbed truck in Black Rock, St Michael, which resulted in 18 people being injured and triggering a mass casualty response.

One area in particular that is proving problematic for the police is the D’Arcy Scott Roundabout opposite Simpson Motors in Warrens, St Michael.
