Police say they will make a decision this morning on whether to continue with the search for the vehicle that went into the river in Naduruloulou near Baulevu, Nausori on Wednesday.
Spokesperson Ana Naisoro says following discussions between the Commissioner of Police and the Commander Fiji Navy, a combined team of divers attempted to dive in search for the missing vehicle in the Rewa River.
She says the Navy divers were brought in to reinforce the Police Special Response Unit divers and the joint team made one attempt but had to call off the search efforts due to unfavourable and dangerous conditions.
Naisoro adds the current was still too strong and visibility poor to safely conduct any search efforts.
Police say the driver of the vehicle whilst proceeding towards Nausori tried to overtake another car when he lost control of the vehicle and veered off the road, and went into the river at about 8.20 Wednesday morning.
