Police have confirmed investigations into alleged negligence will also be looked into after two children died in two separate unfortunate accidents which could have been avoided.

The first accident occurred on Friday in Yalalevu, Ba where a 1-year-old girl died after a vehicle driven by a relative reversed and ran over her.

She was rushed to the Ba Hospital but she was unfortunately pronounced dead on arrival.

The 12-year-old boy allegedly tried to jump onto the back of the truck while the driver was reversing.
