Police were still working Monday to identify the two people killed when their speeding car smashed into a wall Saturday on St. Croix and burst into flames, officials said.
A call came into 911 around 8:15 p.m. Saturday reporting a one-car accident at the entrance of Ocean Point and Port Hamilton Refining and Transportation on Hope Road, also known as Route 68.
Police said the driver was westbound on Hope Road and passed a vehicle on the left shoulder at a high rate of speed. “The vehicle collided head-on into the wall at the entrance of Ocean Point Administrative Building then burst into flames,” police said.
Investigators were unable to identify the two people in the wreckage and collected DNA samples. Police said family members of the likely victims were assisting.
The case remained open Monday and under investigation by the Virgin Islands Police Department’s Traffic Investigation Bureau, St. Croix District.
