Fatal Accident

A 22-year-old taxi driver is alleged to be the country’s latest road fatality victim following a motor vehicle accident last night in Nasinu.

The victim whilst driving towards Nausori allegedly failed to stop at the Kalokalo Crescent traffic lights, whereby his vehicle hit another vehicle driven by a 22-year-old who was making a right turn into Kalokalo Crescent.

Due to the impact of the collision, the victim’s vehicle tumbled several times.

He was rushed to the Valelevu Health Centre but was unfortunately pronounced dead on arrival.

Investigations continue and the national road death toll currently stands at 23 compared to 9 for the same period last year.
