Teen Dies in Road Fatality on Princess Road

A teen has been confirmed as a victim of a road fatality accident.

The Director of Traffic, SSP Divuana, said that the victim was a passenger in a vehicle with four other people traveling along Princess Road in Tacirua when a truck, driven by a 21-year-old man, crashed into it.

SSP Divuana added that the truck driver allegedly lost control of his vehicle, causing it to veer onto the opposite lane, resulting in the accident.

All passengers were taken to CWM Hospital, where the victim was pronounced dead on arrival.

SSP Divuana also reported two other major accidents at Mead Road in Nabua and Daniva Road in Nasinu yesterday. Both suspects from these accidents remain admitted at CWM Hospital.

He urged drivers and pedestrians to take necessary precautions to safeguard their well-being, especially given the current weather conditions and warnings issued by the Fiji Meteorological Office.

The national road death toll currently stands at 54, compared to 73 for the same period last year.
