A man in his 30s died after a car crash in Nasinu this morning

A man in his 30s is the latest road fatality victim after he died following a motor vehicle accident in Nasinu this morning.

Director Traffic, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Mitieli Divuana confirmed that the accident occurred near the Nasinu road junction after 3am.

Police say the victim was driving towards Suva when it is alleged that a vehicle driven by a man also in his 30s heading in the opposite direction crashed into the victim’s car, resulting in the accident.

They say the victim was rushed to the Colonial War Memorial Hospital where he was unfortunately pronounced dead on arrival.

Investigations continue.

SSP Divuana says as investigations continue to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident, drivers are again being urged to be alert.

He says road safety stakeholders are continuously reminding and pleading with all road users on the need to be safe and practice safe road behaviour, however, based on the number of traffic bookings recorded daily, it is sad to say that many are taking the advisories lightly.

SSP Divuana says complacency leads to accidents and at times the unfortunate loss of lives.

The road death toll now stands at 46 compared to 68 for the same period last year.
