St Vincent and the Grenadines: The police officials at the Biabou Police Station in St Vincent have launched an investigation into the circumstances behind a car flipping over an embankment, leaving the driver hospitalised with serious injuries.

According to the reports, the incident took place on Monday around 7 am, when a motor vehicle with number RA-347, a Toyota Vitz, being driven by a 40-year-old Carpenter of Largo Height Kevin Lewis, went over an embankment near the Gas Station in Peruvian Vale.

The preliminary investigations have revealed that the victim of the tragic incident was driving along the Peruvian Vale public road in the direction of Argyle when he suddenly lost control of his vehicle and went over the embankment.

The video of the incident was captured, which showed the vehicle flipped over on one side with huge levels of water surrounding it.

The police report also added that Lewis was the sole occupant in the vehicle at the time of this incident. He somehow managed to call the police, who, upon arrival, found him lying on his back. Police officials said that the driver complained of severe pain in the neck and the entire lower body. The medical officials transported him to the Levi Latham Health Center, who then shifted him to the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital, where he is being treated and is reported to be in a stable condition now.

The investigation around the incident is still continuing as officials want to determine the exact cause of the car accident.
