The National Works Agency (NWA) is advising motorists to exercise extreme caution while travelling along the Junction Road in St. Mary, especially in the area between Broadgate and Toms River. This is as there is currently a threat of boulders falling from the hillside.
Manager of Communication and Customer Services at the NWA, Stephen Shaw says that while it is not raining at the moment, the hillsides were saturated by persistent rainfall over the weekend. As a result, there have been landslides and boulders falling in the Mason Area since last evening.
Mr. Shaw’s advice comes on the heels of a motorist escaping serious injuries this afternoon after a boulder fell on the vehicle he was operating. The vehicle was significantly damaged.
Motorists are further advised to drive with windows down, where possible, to increase vigilance.
