They were obviously in shock after driving by the airport and seeing its deplorable conditions. LOL
Ok take it easy OBA/UBP…have a heart. Funny huh…Have your government start doing some preventive maintenance down there. Because even if a new airport is built, the current facility cannot be neglected.

Probably registered to a granny at the other end of the island.
After checking the license plate through TCD and registration info the police would know who owns the car,I don’t mean to step on the police toes, I have faith that they are smart enough to figure this out.
Hopefully the driver is okay…perhaps the car handbrake was not in use while the operator was out of the vehicle checking a faulty headlight. Flip side it is a dark and winding road.
Nothing like a late night skinny dip
Costly night… buying a new car at todays prices is quite prohibitive customs wants, 150% duty on importation there of…. then you look at the roads and ask yourself what do they do to dezrve that amount.
Police stopped the flow of traffic,!! Boats or cars
