A 15-year-old boy is believed to have been swept away by strong current whilst trying to cross the flooded Nakorovou bridge in Nalawa, Ra on Sunday.

Police say the incident occurred around 4pm.

They say search efforts have been put on hold due to the unfavourable weather condition.

Police are also reminding everyone to adopt all necessary safety precautions as the Fiji Meteorological Office forecasts more rain and possible flooding of low lying areas particularly in the Western Division.

They are urging people not to cross flooded areas and continue listening to weather advisories.
