A 33-year-old man who fled the scene of an alleged fatal accident last night was arrested this morning by officers from the Ba Police Station.
The man was allegedly driving a vehicle that tumbled several times along Kings Road in Nailaga, Ba last night resulting in the death of a 30-year-old man.
Two women aged 22 and 19 years were also travelling in the vehicle.
All three victims were taken to the Ba Mission Hospital by bystanders where the 30-year-old man from Varoko was pronounced dead on arrival.
The driver fled the scene of the accident and an overnight search resulted in his arrest this morning at his home in Nailaga, Ba.
The vehicle also damaged the front porch of a 49-year-old man’s home.
Investigators are now trying to determine whether the driver was speeding.
The current road death toll stands at 5 compared to 5 for the same period last year.
