Man charged with death by careless driving
The following is a media release from the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF).
Officers of the Road Policing Unit charged Ulric Pilgrim, 72, of Carrot Bay for the offence of causing death by careless driving in the accident last year March that claimed the life of Belmont Estate resident Henrique David Dos Santos.
The deceased, a native of South Africa, was on a scooter headed toward Road Town when he collided with a vehicle entering the highway from Havers.
Pilgrim was granted bailed in the sum of $25,000 with one surety for his appearance at Magistrate’s Court on 23 March 2023.

First my sympathy to the deceased and I wish this man the best. But I must say that this man ran down a white man not too long ago and the man died and this black man is now charged and rightfully so. But how come the white man that ran down the black man on the boat months ago is not arrested as yet. These kind of unbalanced actions is what have me questioning this Commissioner of Police and this pre-authored COI.
sure let’s make it about race as opposed to justice, love these discussions of racist commentators..
“…rightfully so?” So you must know all the details of this case then.
Facts
the relevant criminal files at the High Court Registry before posting inaccurate comments Hmmmmm!
That’s the WIG dude that thought he the king of the HOA , and when real premier said he had enough of the drama queen and kicked his a*S out / he has found a new hobby to play with himself / that child needs help ( Devine intervention
There needs to be speed bumps where the Havers road joins the highway. It’s a blind corner where many vehicles are speeding. There’s an accident at that locatipn several times a year. Please Mr. Fraser (3rd district representative) do something about this and put speed bumps in on either side!
That boat man was … and they trying to get the case thrown out. The commissioner is allegedly also a family friend. They lost all the blood samples conveniently and seeped evidence under the rug.
The all hold one head, eat and drink together in personal spaces where they cant be seen. I know this first hand.
@HMMM let’s leave skin color out buy you right owner and captain of boat in fatal Oct 2021 accident still free. High court judge informed prosecutor of this injustice and they will take action.
Justice and the family of the dead can now rest. Sad that the Frandy Martin case is taking a blind eye.
They also lost the urine , who hell lost blood and urine samples all evidence lost so who have the lock up keys body
So who had the right of way on the boat? Who caused the accident? Does that matter or is it just a race ting?
“Rightfully so?” Were you there?? So, it took a year to charge someone? Was an investigation conducted at the scene of the accident? Was the man on the scooter over taking other vehicles?
Yes, a year later the BVI police were FORCED to arrest Mr. Pilgrim. But,as someone stated; the white man that killed a black person with his vehicle wasn’t charged??
Justice?? He hasn’t been convicted. And unless you witnessed the accident you can’t blame the driver.The deceased passed vehicles.
