Police have questioned the driver of the private vehicle that was involved in the fatal road accident in front of the Lami Police Station this morning.
An elderly woman has passed away after she was hit by the vehicle.
Eyewitnesses say the woman had gotten off the bus and was crossing the road when she was hit by the private vehicle.
The woman has been identified by relatives.
The body was lying on the road for quite some time after the accident which occurred at around 10 this morning.
Lami Police removed the body from the road at 11.14 this morning.
When asked by Fijivillage why it took more than an hour for Police to remove the body of the woman, Police Spokesperson Ana Naisoro says there are processes to be followed at any crime scene and people need to understand that officers will take time to preserve evidence and take necessary detailed information at the scene for investigation purposes.
Naisoro says the desired result for any investigation is a successful prosecution and it starts from the scene of crime whereby forensics have to conduct the work.
