A bus was involved in an accident near Pacific Harbour this afternoon and Fijivillage has received confirmation that the bus driver was taken to the hospital after he got hurt due to a flying rod.
An eyewitness has confirmed that halfway towards Pacific Harbour a metal rod flew off a passing truck and hit the front and side of the bus.
The bus was on a slow climb up a steep hill so the driver managed to stop the bus without any further damage.
The eyewitness also confirmed that the driver was then taken to the Navua Hospital by a passing vehicle.
