[bootstrap.inc][1] [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/cnbLZ.png
Not sure what is going on here. It looks as if AccountInterface is already included in the boostrap.inc.
I tried updating the drush globaly and did get the latest version. In the local file however it still says I am on version 5.10.0. The composer.json within the local folder says I have it as 8.1. Thank you in advance!
vagrant@supersport:/var/www/drupalvm$ drush dl basic
PHP Fatal error: Class 'Drupal\Core\Session\AccountInterface' not found in

Drush command terminated abnormally due to an unrecoverable error.

I renamed the original drush directory to something else (example: drush5) and then re-installed drush.
Deleted drush5 folder
I then got a seperate php error Error: Call to undefined function Drush\UpdateService\simplexml_load_file()
Followed this link and ran sudo apt-get install php-xml
