French Quarter:--- A brother and sister and other relatives or friends that were in a black car and a blue jeep caused a huge accident and traffic back up on Chamba Hill Sunday night. The accident occurred in the vicinity of Nagico Insurance office. According to eyewitnesses and several persons on the scene, a family (brother and sister) were apparently racing home from a beach party they had when the accident occurred. One eyewitness said it appeared as though one was over taking the other when they slammed against each other. The blue jeep also hit head on with a Chevrolet van owned by a taxi driver. The taxi driver said that when the jeep that was driven by the severely injured man hit his van it went airborne and then flipped around and hit his sister's car head on. All three vehicles involved in the accident are total loss. The ambulance personnel and firemen had to use the jaws of life to remove the male driver from his vehicle.
Three women who were in the vehicle on the scene and seemed under heavy influence of alcohol were seen sitting holding their heads, while some other male relatives or friends were seen removing some heavy speakers and coolers that had alcoholic beverages inside.
On the scene were two ambulances, a fire truck, the SAMU doctor, and multiple Gendarmes who were investigating and diverting traffic at the same time. A large gathering of people surrounded the area where the accident occurred as they were amazed at the damage caused by the sister and brother who hails from the Dutch side on the island.
